Nigerian politics is corrupt; I want no part of it – Davido
Nigerian music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has declared that he does not wish to be involved in Nigerian politics, describing the country’s political environment as “evil.”
Davido made the remarks in a social media post in response to criticism over his support for his family during the recently concluded Osun State governorship election.
The singer said he stood by his family without involving anyone else in the political process or seeking assistance from others.
“I brought no one! No one defended me! I backed my family on my own!!” Davido wrote.
He criticised those who had attacked or condemned his involvement, describing them as “ruthless” and “disgusting.”
Davido added that he had fulfilled what he considered his duty to his family and did not intend to remain involved in political affairs.
“I have done my job! Nigerian politics is evil, AND I DON’T WANT TO BE A PART OF IT TILL GOD HELPS US!” he said.
The singer had been vocal in his support for his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, during the governorship election.
Adeleke, the Accord Party candidate, won the election with 511,067 votes, defeating the All Progressives Congress candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, who secured 444,815 votes.
The governor subsequently secured a second term in office, while Davido celebrated the victory and defended his family amidst political exchanges during the election period.
