Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has made it clear that he has no plans to apologise to Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, over their recent public clash.
Speaking in an interview with News Central, Davido was asked if he regretted his comments about the governor.
The singer responded firmly, saying he had done nothing wrong and would not apologise.
Davido accused Okpebholo of leaving Edo State to get involved in the Osun State governorship election and alleged that the governor came to the state to support efforts to rig the election.
He also took exception to comments attributed to Okpebholo about his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, whom Davido defended against criticism over his dancing and style of leadership.
“I’m not going to apologise. I didn’t do anything wrong,” Davido
said.He further questioned the circumstances surrounding Okpebholo’s election as Edo governor, claiming that the governor was “selected” rather than elected. Davido also criticised him for abusing a sitting governor in his own state.
The singer said he felt sorry for Okpebholo’s children, who, he suggested, might see their father’s public conduct and be affected by it.
Davido ended his remarks with a warning that he would not forget the confrontation, saying:
“Anyhow, finish your three years. We’ll visit you when it’s time for you to get re-elected.”
The latest comments come days after Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke, secured re-election as governor of Osun State.
The exchange between Davido and Governor Okpebholo has continued to attract attention on social media, with supporters of both politicians weighing in on the controversy.
