Former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has come under criticism on social media after using South African singer Tyla’s Grammy win to mock Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, during an online exchange over the August 15 Osun State governorship election.
The clash began after presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, announced on Thursday that President Bola Tinubu had directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to lift the court order restricting Osun State Government accounts following a phone conversation with Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Reacting to the post on X, Davido, whose uncle, Ademola Adeleke, is seeking re-election as Osun governor on Accord Party platform, wrote, “I was there live! I witnessed history!!!”
Ahmad, a chieftain of the All Progressive Party, responded by saying he had bookmarked Davido’s post, writing, “This tweet is bookmarked. It will serve as a reference for future events. I know you will come back here to lament if the August 15 results don’t go your way.”
Davido fired back, alleging that election results could be manipulated.
