Apostle Kassy Chukwu, a Senior Special Assistant to Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo, has warned concert organisers and event planners in the state not to enlist Afrobeats star David Adeleke, aka Davido, when planning shows in Edo.
He gave the advice in a trending video online after the ‘Electricity’ hitmaker refused to back down on a fierce political standoff and social media war with his principal.
The drama unfolded when Governor Okpebholo travelled to Osun State to campaign for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, during the state’s recent off-cycle guber poll, taking a dig at Osun Governor Adeleke along the way.
Mocking Adeleke’s dancing habits, the Edo governor said: “Before somebody signs a paper, he will dance. Are you not tired? For four years, this man has been dancing. Before he takes breakfast, before he drinks tea, he will dance.”
Reacting, Davido—who is Adeleke’s nephew and has been out on the campaign trail supporting his uncle—fired back by posting what appeared to be Okpebholo’s West African Examinations Council (WAEC) results on his Instagram Story without a caption.
The singer then doubled down on the saga during an exclusive interview on News Central on Tuesday, insisting: “I’m not going to apologise. I didn’t do anything wrong. I was just telling people of the state the results their governor has.”
Turning the heat back on Okpebholo, the music star questioned what right the governor had to cross state lines to attack his family.
Davido added: “Yes, and you came—you left your state, you came to another state. You came in and then started talking that my uncle is a dancer; he is not serious. The road to your Government House is not done. My uncle is not serious. First of all, you were not even elected; you were selected.”
However, in a recent clip online, Chukwu told Davido that he was no longer welcome in Edo State and threatened that anyone who brought the singer to perform there would face consequences.
He said: “David, we don’t want to see you for Edo State again. If we catch you, if we see you for airport, go there, boys, make sure that you slap, they remove your teeth for you.”
