BREAKING: Davido writes Trump, urges US President to monitor August 15 Osun guber poll
Nigerian music star Davido has appealed to United States President Donald Trump to pay close attention to the August 15 governorship election in Osun State.
Davido made the appeal in a post on X on Tuesday, expressing concern over what he described as growing tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation or disruption of the electoral process.
Addressing Trump directly, the singer urged the United States and the international community to closely monitor developments surrounding the election.
“President Donald Trump, I am calling your attention to the situation in Osun State, Nigeria, as we approach the election,” Davido wrote.
He said the people of Osun State should be allowed to exercise their constitutional right to vote freely and peacefully without fear or intimidation.
“There are growing concerns about tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation, or disruption of the democratic process. Osun people deserve to exercise their constitutional right to vote freely, peacefully, and without fear,” he said.
Davido also called on the US and other members of the international community to encourage Nigerian authorities to protect voters and ensure that votes cast during the election are respected.
“I appeal to the United States and the international community to pay close attention to the election and encourage all relevant authorities to ensure that every voter is protected and every vote is respected,” he added.
The singer stressed that his appeal was aimed at preventing violence and promoting a credible electoral process.
“We do not want bloodshed. We do not want intimidation. We want peace, transparency, and a free and fair election,” Davido said.
He concluded the message by tagging Trump’s official X account.
The appeal comes amid heightened political activities ahead of the August 15 governorship election, which is expected to be closely contested among the major political parties in the state.
