Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has taken a swipe at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, following the outcome of the Osun State governorship election.
Davido, in a social media post, appeared to mock the former Rivers State governor over the election result, declaring: “I won, I beat you.”
The singer’s remark is believed to be linked to the political contest in Osun, where the election outcome has generated considerable debate among political actors and their supporters.
Davido, who has openly expressed his political views on several occasions, has previously been involved in political discussions surrounding his home state, Osun.
His latest comment quickly attracted attention online, with supporters and critics debating the political significance of the exchange.
Wike, a prominent figure in Nigeria’s political landscape, has remained an influential voice within the ruling political establishment and has been involved in several high-profile political battles in recent years.
The exchange between the two men comes amid heightened political activity and growing interest in the alliances and rivalries that could shape Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Davido’s statement has since added a fresh layer of drama to the political conversation, particularly among supporters of the various camps involved in the Osun contest.
The singer is yet to provide further details on what specifically prompted his declaration that he had “won” and “beaten” Wike.
