Popular Nigerian activist, Omoyele Sowore, has criticised Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, following the singer’s recent meeting with Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Recall that Davido and his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, visited Wike at his Abuja residence on Thursday.
A 16-second video circulating on social media showed Davido engaging Wike in a light-hearted conversation about the outcome of Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State.
Reacting to the meeting, Sowore labelled the individuals involved as political hustlers and questioned why Davido was “genuflecting before Nyesom Wike” despite reports of deaths among Osun residents during the election period.
In a post on his X handle, Sowore wrote:
“Nigerian political hustlers will deceive the public, and the gullible will swallow the deception whole.
“Here is the loud and lousy @davido genuflecting before Nyesom Wike @GovWike, barely a week after their ‘agreement is agreement’ election politics in Osun, a contest marred by deadly violence and the loss of scores of lives.
“Behind all the public grandstanding, insults, and manufactured outrage, these political actors know exactly where their interests converge.
“Dissemblers. Gerrymanderers. Carpetbaggers. Political hustlers. Lying machines. When their interests are at stake, the masks come off.”
Reports had earlier emerged that supporters of both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Accord Party were killed in incidents recorded before and during Saturday’s election.
