Nigerian pop star, Davido won’t be participating in the 2019 Presidential elections as he is presently in South Africa.
TheNewsGuru recalls that months ago, the revered entertainer began to show his interest in politics by means of campaigning for his uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke who was vying for the seat of the Governor in Osun state. Senator Adeleke eventually lost, but the singer wasn’t deterred from showing support for his preferred presidential candidate
Weeks back, the ‘Assurance’ crooner endorsed the People’s Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. He also launched a campaign dubbed “Defend Your Vote”.
Judging from his Instagram post, Davido is reportedly out of the country as Nigerians go to the polls. His last Instagram post from just 17 hours ago was geo-tagged Johannesburg, South Africa.
However he has been lending his voice on Twitter, urging young Nigerians not to be deterred by the technical hitches encountered in their polling units.
Proud of Nigerians nationwide! Keep watching. Keep reporting! Down to collation and announcement! We must monitor all!!
