Renowned musician David Adeleke, famously referred to as Davido, has expressed his support for Asue Ighodalo, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) contestant in the imminent Edo gubernatorial race.
In a gesture of endorsement, the music icon utilized his Instagram story on Sunday evening to back the accomplished professional.
The artist, who originates from Osun, shared a snapshot of a Thisday newspaper front page showcasing Dr. Ighodalo, accompanied by the words: “The next governor of my mother’s homeland”. Davido’s late mother has roots in Edo state.
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, arrived in Benin City as part of a PDP governors’ delegation attending a significant rally for Dr. Ighodalo.
With Davido’s massive social media following, his endorsement could significantly sway public opinion in favor of Ighodalo. Recent surveys from BusinessDay and the African Polling Institute have already indicated Dr. Ighodalo’s lead over his competitors.
Davido’s backing joins a growing roster of well-known personalities expressing their support for Dr. Ighodalo.
Notable figures like Banky W and his wife, actress Adesua Etomi, actress Etinosa, and Nollywood actor and producer Charles Onojie have openly endorsed the PDP candidate.
