Nigerians have called on Afrobeat star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, to show greater interest in national political issues and also report President Bola Tinubu to the United States President, Donald Trump.
The call came after the singer said he would involve Trump if the forthcoming Osun State governorship election is rigged.
His remark has been greeted with various reactions from Nigerians who questioned why he appears more vocal when political issues involve his family and the Osun governorship contest than on broader national challenges affecting millions of young Nigerians.
DAILY POST reported that Davido had warned he would seek Trump’s intervention if anything goes wrong with the August 15 Osun State governorship election.
Reacting to the development, some X users asked Davido to extend his advocacy beyond the Osun election and speak more consistently on issues affecting the country.
According to them, the singer, who commands a large following among Nigerian youths and has previously used his platform to comment on political matters, could also use his influence to draw attention to national concerns.
They charged the singer to also speak about what critics describe as poor governance, economic hardship, insecurity, unemployment and other challenges confronting young Nigerians.
Here are some reactions gathered by DAILY POST
