Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has alleged that soldiers are attempting to prevent him from entering Osun State ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
Davido, who made the claim in a post on his official X account, said he had been “reliably informed” that soldiers were planning to stop him from accessing the state.
The singer, who is the son of former Osun State Governor and is openly supporting the re-election bid of Governor Ademola Adeleke, said any attempt to stop him would violate his constitutional right to freedom of movement.
“I’ve been reliably informed that soldiers are trying to prevent me from entering Osun tomorrow, this won’t happen,” Davido stated.
He added: “Every citizen of Nigeria has
the right to movement at any point in time.”The allegation comes amid heightened political tension and increased security deployment across Osun State ahead of the governorship poll.
Davido has been actively involved in the campaign for Governor Adeleke and has repeatedly urged supporters to protect their votes during the election.
However, the allegation has not been independently verified. As of the time of filing this report, there was no official response from the Nigerian military regarding Davido’s claim.
The development comes as security agencies intensify preparations for Saturday’s election amid concerns over political tensions and the safety of voters, candidates and other stakeholders.
Wawareporters will continue to monitor developments and provide updates on the Osun governorship election.
