Edo State’s information commissioner says the state has not banned Nigerian musician Davido from entering or performing in Edo, responding to claims attributed to a governor’s aide. The commissioner says Davido remains welcome to visit and stage performances in the state.
The outlets report that the clarification comes amid public discussion over restrictions, with some accounts suggesting Davido could be barred. Premium Times quotes the commissioner describing Davido as a young Nigerian ambassador who continues to represent the country internationally. The Punch similarly frames the statement as a denial of any ban, emphasizing the government’s position that there is no prohibition on Davido’s activities in Edo.
Overall, both reports present the same core development: Edo State publicly disputes earlier claims of a ban and restates that Davido can enter Edo and perform there. Neither outlet indicates the existence of an official order or specific enforcement measure establishing any ban at the time of the report.
