Nigerian-American music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has claimed that the United States Government has responded to the concerns he raised about Saturday’s gubernatorial election in Osun State.
The ‘Electricity’ hitmaker made this known on Tuesday in a post shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) page, as a follow-up to an earlier post.
Davido had earlier appealed to United States President Donald Trump to pay close attention to the forthcoming Osun State governorship election.
While urging the American leader to intervene to avert possible bloodshed and other forms of electoral violence ahead of the poll, he wrote, “President Donald Trump, I am calling your attention to the situation in Osun State, Nigeria, as we approach the election.”

Noting that Osun residents deserve to exercise their constitutional right to vote freely and peacefully without fear, he added, “We do not want bloodshed. We do not want intimidation. We want peace, transparency, and a free and fair election.”
The singer went on to tag Trump’s official X handle, @realDonaldTrump, after making the appeal.
However, in a new post a few hours later, Davido confirmed that he had been contacted by the US government.
He wrote, “Dem don reach out ooooo. DEY PLAY! U think the rest of the world is undemocratic like Una! Una go see something.”
The Osun governorship election is scheduled for Saturday, August 15, 2026, with the incumbent governor and Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke, seeking re-election.
