Davido shared what appeared to be Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo's alleged West African Examinations Council (WAEC) result on his Instagram Stories on August 7, days before the August 15 Osun governorship election. The singer's move is a direct response to remarks Okpebholo made during an All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rally in Osun.
Edo Governor Mocks Osun Governor's Dancing Videos
Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo sparked a viral response from Davido after questioning whether Osun residents wanted another four years under a governor he described as always dancing. Speaking at an APC political rally, Okpebholo said, "Before somebody signs paper, he will dance… Before he takes breakfast, before he drinks tea, he will dance." The governor urged voters to support the APC candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, popularly known as AMBO.
Davido Fires Back with Alleged WAEC Result
Davido shared a screenshot of Okpebholo's alleged WAEC result, which purportedly showed several low grades. However, the authenticity of the result has not been independently verified, and neither Davido nor Governor Okpebholo immediately provided further clarification about the document. The singer did not include any caption or explanation with the post, but it quickly spread across X, Instagram, Facebook, and blogs.
Celebrity Endorsements Matter in Osun Governorship Race
Davido's public endorsement of Governor Ademola Adeleke has made him one of the most prominent celebrity voices in the Osun governorship race. The singer has been actively campaigning for his uncle, attending campaign events, sharing photos with the governor, and encouraging supporters to remain peaceful throughout the electoral process. His involvement mirrors the prominent role he played during Adeleke's successful 2022 governorship campaign.
No Official Response from Edo State Government
As of the time of filing this report, Governor Monday Okpebholo had not publicly responded to Davido's post, and there was no official statement from the Edo State Government addressing the alleged WAEC result. The exchange comes days before the Osun governorship election, where Davido is campaigning for his uncle.
