Nigerian singer Davido has liked a social media post by activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) criticising him and his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, over the governor’s support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

VDM shared the post after Adeleke attended the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja on Wednesday, October 14, despite being a member of the Accord Party.

At the event, Adeleke pledged his support for Tinubu’s re-election, saying he already “smells” the President’s victory in the 2027 elections. He also announced that he would lead Tinubu’s re-election campaign in Osun State.

Reacting to the development, VDM recalled Davido’s previous criticisms of Tinubu and the APC when his uncle was fighting for re-election. He read out the singer’s past tweets condemning the ruling party, including one in which Davido stated that he could never support the APC.

VDM questioned Davido’s position on the party now that his uncle is working with the same politicians the singer previously criticised. He also accused Davido of not having the interests of Nigerians, particularly the people of Osun State, at heart, alleging that the singer only remembers his home state during election periods.

Addressing Davido directly, VDM said: “You are a user. You are someone who uses your fans and your popularity to your advantage of yourself. I don’t want to see you put your mouth in election matters again.”
