Edo State Election: Cynthia Morgan calls out Davido
Cynthia Morgan asserted that Davido's interest in the elections was propaganda, claiming that he could not relate to the common Edo man
Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the Edo State gubernatorial elections, Nigerian singer Cynthia Morgan has criticized her colleague Davido for his stance on the elections.
On September 22, 2024, she took to her Instagram story, saying, “If you know me, you would know I am very apolitical, but Davido is more annoying than I thought.”
Cynthia Morgan asserted that Davido’s interest in the elections was propaganda, claiming that he could not relate to the common Edo man.
She wrote, “Since you’ve been screaming that your mum was from Edo State, I have never seen you visit her family house, neither have you ever mentioned the village or family she is from. It has only been a propaganda thing for you. Please leave Edo people alone. You’re not from the Edo state, and neither do you know the struggles of an average Edo man or woman. Asue is the man. Nigerian govt is not a family business.”
Her post comes after Davido called out the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on X and expressed his concern over the elections.
When many X users voiced their confusion regarding his interest in the elections, Davido then clarified that it stemmed from his late mother’s heritage. He wrote, “My mom is from Edo for those wondering why I’m interested in the election … but we as Nigerians should be concerned sha. @inecnigeria shame on you. I know how many times I had to come in here and rant before they got it right in Osun! It’s really bad. God help us.”
The singer’s post led to a back-and-forth between him and X users and, subsequently, an array of posts. In another post, he wrote, “You all are in a group chat doing turn by turn! There’s nothing you can do! Nothing! You don’t even have access to your bosses like me! You are staff, I am a friend!”
