“We Do Not Want Bloodshed” — Davido Urges Trump to Monitor Osun Election Amid Violence Fears
Afrobeats star Davido has called on United States President Donald Trump and the international community to pay close attention to the forthcoming Osun State election, expressing concern over the possibility of violence, intimidation and disruption during the voting process.
The singer made the appeal in a social media post, urging international observers and stakeholders to monitor developments surrounding the election closely.
Davido said Nigerians do not want bloodshed, stressing the need for a peaceful electoral process in which voters can exercise their rights without fear or intimidation.
His intervention has generated widespread reactions online, with some Nigerians supporting the singer’s call for greater international attention and stronger safeguards for voters.
Supporters of the appeal argued that increased international scrutiny could help discourage electoral violence and promote transparency during the election.
However, others questioned why Davido chose to specifically appeal to Trump, arguing that Nigeria’s electoral matters should primarily be handled through the country’s institutions and domestic stakeholders.
The debate comes as political activities intensify ahead of the Osun election, with concerns over security, voter intimidation and the credibility of the electoral process remaining prominent issues.
Davido’s comments have consequently added a celebrity voice to the wider calls for a peaceful and credible election in Osun State.
