Nigerian music superstar Davido has expressed confidence in his political prospects, claiming he could easily win any position if elections in Nigeria were free and fair. This statement came as a response to a netizen on X (formerly Twitter) who advised the artist to stick to making music and avoid politics.
The online exchange began when the user commented, “He should face his music. I like his songs. Politics is not his turf.” In response, Davido tweeted, “Free and fair election in Nigeria … I would be easily elected …. YOU SEF KNOW,” highlighting his belief in his popularity and influence across the country.
The interaction followed Davido’s involvement in the recent Edo State election, where he expressed his connection to the state through his late mother, Imade Veronica Adeleke, who hailed from Edo. His active participation in political discussions has sparked debates on whether artists should use their platform to influence political matters or focus solely on their craft.
Despite criticism, Davido remains undeterred and seems willing to engage in Nigeria’s political landscape, suggesting that he could be a formidable candidate under the right circumstances.
