Afrobeats artist Davido (David Adeleke) publicly criticizes Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential media aide, after Ahmad comments on the upcoming Osun State governorship election. The dispute begins when Davido posts on X about President Bola Tinubu’s phone call with Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke, describing himself as a witness to “history.” Ahmad replies by bookmarking the post and suggesting Davido may later regret his stance after the election scheduled for August 15. Davido then responds with sharp personal and political retorts. He tells Ahmad he received “16 votes” in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries and urges him to stop commenting. Davido also accuses Ahmad of failing to improve conditions in his community despite spending eight years in government, contrasting his own achievements in the entertainment industry—such as global influence and large streaming figures—with what Davido characterizes as Ahmad’s limited political impact. The exchange draws further online reactions, reflecting ongoing public engagement between entertainment figures and political discourse in Nigeria.
