‘Nobody Can Beat Me In A Transparent Election’ – Davido Boasts

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has claimed that no one can defeat him in a free and fair election in Nigeria if he decides to contest for political office.

However, the singer said he has no interest in running for office because of what he described as the lack of transparency in Nigeria’s electoral system.

Speaking during a recent livestream with streamer Carter Efe, Davido said he would rather focus on his music career until the country’s elections become more transparent.

When asked if he would like to govern a state, Davido replied:

“Nigeria wey dem dey write result? I no get time for all those ones. Because I no be all those ones wey you go cheat me, I go go sleep for house. I will do something to you if you cheat me.”

He added that he believes he can win any election conducted fairly.

Davido said:

“Let me just focus on my music until there is transparency then I can go ahead and contest for elective positions. Nobody can beat me in any election, never! In a free and fair election, I can win presidential election in Nigeria.

“But because of the system, there is no transparency, they write results. I’m waiting to see what they will do in the upcoming Osun gubernatorial election. We are wailing.”
