Music star Adekunle Gold says Nigeria is not practising true democracy, linking his comments to remarks made by fellow singer Davido to US President Donald Trump. Gold raises concerns about how elections and governance are handled, while responding to the broader issue Davido highlighted regarding Nigeria’s political process.
Gold speaks on a podcast episode, where he discusses Davido’s message to Trump and urges greater attention to Nigeria’s electoral environment. The outlets describing the story frame Gold’s view as a call for improved democratic practice and governance rather than a specific claim about any single institution. While both sources agree on Gold’s stance and the connection to Davido’s outreach to Trump, they differ in emphasis: one outlet foregrounds Gold’s support for Davido’s appeal, while the other focuses on the statement that Nigeria is not a true democracy.
