The lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency of Lagos State at the House of Representatives, James Faleke, has replied Afrobeats superstar, Davido, over allegations of influencing the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the just concluded governorship election in Osun State.
In a post on his verified X handle on Sunday, the lawmaker who supported the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, denied influencing the electoral body, asking the singer to face his music.
DAILY POST recalls that Davido had, during the collation of the election results in Osogbo on Saturday, alleged that Faleke was putting pressure on INEC to alter the outcome of the poll.
“Hon. James Faleke, stop putting pressure on INEC to change Osun election result. Respect the wishes of Osun people. We don’t want Oyetola and AMBO,” Davido had tweeted.
Replying, Faleke said his presence in Osun was solely to support his party’s candidate.
He pointed out that Davido also backed his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, who contested under the Accord Party.
“I have never influenced or rigged before and I don’t plan to start now. Face your music while we face our politics.
“I came to Osun to support my party’s candidate, while you supported your uncle’s party (Accord). INEC is a body that can’t be influenced by me or anyone else,” Faleke said.
