Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has appealed to candidates in the August 15 Osun State governorship election to respect the will of the electorate and ensure the poll is conducted peacefully.
Speaking at a press conference in Osogbo on Wednesday, Davido, who is Governor Ademola Adeleke’s nephew, said no political ambition should be allowed to endanger lives or destabilise the state.
He urged political leaders and their supporters to avoid actions capable of heightening tension before, during and after the election, while encouraging eligible voters to turn out peacefully and exercise their civic rights.
“Dear contestants in the Osun State governorship election, this is your opportunity to seek the mandate of the people, but political opportunities come and go. Whatever the outcome, please do not allow political ambition to put the lives and future of Osun people at risk.
