Afrobeats star Davido has raised concerns over the forthcoming Osun State election, calling on US President Donald Trump and the international community to pay attention to what happens during the poll.

 

Davido made the appeal in a video, where he expressed concern that the election could be marred by tension, intimidation or violence. He urged relevant authorities to do everything possible to give voters the confidence to come out and exercise their rights without fear.

 

According to the singer, what the people of Osun need is a peaceful and credible election, rather than a process overshadowed by violence. He also urged the international community to watch the election closely and ensure that the votes of residents are respected.

 

 

Davido wrote: “President Donald Trump, I am calling your attention to the situation in Osun State, Nigeria, as we approach the election.

 

“There are growing concerns about tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation, or disruption of the democratic process. Osun people deserve to exercise their constitutional right to vote freely, peacefully, and without fear.

 

“I appeal to the United States and the international community to pay close attention to the election and encourage all relevant authorities to ensure that every voter is protected and every vote is respected.

 

“We do not want bloodshed. We do not want intimidation. We want peace, transparency, and a free and fair election. @realDonaldTrump.”
