Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has appealed to United States President Donald Trump to pay attention to the forthcoming Osun State governorship election, expressing concerns over possible violence and disruption of the electoral process.

Davido made the appeal in a post shared on X on Tuesday, calling on the United States and the international community to monitor the election and encourage Nigerian authorities to protect voters and ensure that their votes are respected.

“President Donald Trump, I am calling your attention to the situation in Osun State, Nigeria, as we approach the election.

“There are growing concerns about tension and the possibility of violence, intimidation, or disruption of the democratic process,” Davido wrote.

The singer urged authorities to ensure that residents of the state were able to exercise their constitutional right to vote without fear.

“Osun people deserve to exercise their constitutional right to vote freely, peacefully, and without fear,” he said.

Davido also appealed to the international community to pay close attention to the election, which is scheduled for August 15.

“I appeal to the United States and the international community to pay close attention to the election and encourage all relevant authorities to ensure that every voter is protected and every vote is respected,” he wrote.

He stressed that his priority was to prevent violence and ensure a credible electoral process.

“We do not want bloodshed. We do not want intimidation. We want peace, transparency, and a free and fair election,” Davido said.

The latest appeal follows his earlier warning that he would seek Trump’s intervention if anything went wrong during the Osun election. Davido made the remark during a live session with comedian Carter Efe, saying he would involve the US president if the electoral process was compromised.

Davido, who is a nephew of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, has openly supported his uncle’s re-election bid and has been vocal about the need for a peaceful election.

Earlier, he urged political actors and Osun residents to reject violence, intimidation and provocation ahead of the poll, saying voters’ choices must be respected.

The Osun governorship election is expected to be contested by Adeleke and other candidates, including the All Progressives Congress candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, and the African Democratic Congress candidate, Najeem Salaam.

Davido’s latest intervention adds to growing calls for a peaceful and credible election as political activities intensify ahead of the August 15 poll.
