Nigerians have called on Afrobeat star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, to show greater interest in national political issues and also report President Bola Tinubu to the United States President, Donald Trump.
The call came after the singer said he would involve Trump if the forthcoming Osun State governorship election is rigged.
His remark has been greeted with various reactions from Nigerians who questioned why he appears more vocal when political issues involve his family and the Osun governorship contest than on broader national challenges affecting millions of young Nigerians.
DAILY POST reported that Davido had warned he would seek Trump’s intervention if anything goes wrong with the August 15 Osun State governorship election.
Reacting to the development, some X users asked Davido to extend his advocacy beyond the Osun election and speak more consistently on issues affecting the country.
According to them, the singer, who commands a large following among Nigerian youths and has previously used his platform to comment on political matters, could also use his influence to draw attention to national concerns.
They charged the singer to also speak about what critics describe as poor governance, economic hardship, insecurity, unemployment and other challenges confronting young Nigerians.
Here are some reactions gathered by DAILY POST
@Barnny_sommy, “Davido always comes over to fight when his family members are involved. For three years, he has remained quiet, while Nigerian citizens suffer, only for him to come out now disturbing us.”
@NC_Okonkwo, “Why didn’t you involve Biden when things went WRONG with the 2023 Presidential Election? The Osun Election will be rigged and nothing will happen. Na everybody go chop breakfast
@stevejioff, “Davido is a great guy but it’s disappointing he doesn’t speak about issues in the nation, especially those the youths face, until it’s about his family’s Osun election.”
@Mind_____Game, “Davido refused to involve Trump when children and women were kidnapped. Now for his own selfishness he is calling on Trump. Hypocrites
@Akpomamus186428, “It’s all about selfish interest. You have been in rapport with Tinubu despite his criminal history and failure in government. Now the snake is in your corner, you remember Trump.
@TheRealEmma22, “I strongly advise that you involve big daddy now, before @officialABAT rigs that election. The earlier you invite Donald Trump, the better for you. Bcoz we’re not dealing with a human being. Bola Tinubu is a demon that must be exorcised by every means necessary.”
