Davido fires back at Edo governor after Adeleke dancing jibe

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has seemingly responded to Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo after the governor mocked Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke over his fondness for dancing.

Davido, who has been openly supporting his uncle ahead of the August 15 Osun State governorship election, shared what appeared to be Okpebholo’s West African Examinations Council result on his Instagram Story on Friday.

The singer did not attach any caption to the post, leaving followers to interpret the move as a response to the Edo governor’s recent comments about Adeleke.

Okpebholo had taken a swipe at the Osun governor while campaigning for the All Progressives Congress candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, also known as AMBO.

Questioning Adeleke’s approach to governance, the Edo governor said the Osun governor spends too much time dancing.

“Before somebody signs paper, he will dance. Are you not tired? For four years, this man has been dancing. Before he takes breakfast, before he drinks tea, he will dance,” Okpebholo said.

His remarks came as the APC intensified its campaign ahead of the Osun governorship election.

Davido has remained vocal in his support for Adeleke, participating in campaign activities and recently calling for a peaceful and credible election in the state.

The singer’s latest post has now added another twist to the exchange, with his decision to share the governor’s purported WAEC result drawing attention online.
