“Nobody could beat me in any election” — Davido says he could win Nigeria’s presidency under a free and fair system
Afrobeats superstar Davido has sparked fresh conversations online after claiming that nobody could defeat him in a free and fair election in Nigeria, insisting he could even emerge victorious in a presidential contest.
The singer, whose real name is David Adeleke, made the remarks during a recent livestream with online streamer Carter Efe. Although he expressed confidence in his popularity, he stressed that he has no intention of seeking political office for now.
According to Davido, the country’s electoral process discourages him from entering politics because he believes election results are often manipulated. He said he would rather continue making music until there is genuine transparency in the system.
