Afrobeats star Davido has publicly criticised Gboyega Oyetola, accusing the former Osun State governor of political desperation ahead of the state’s governorship election. According to TheCable Lifestyle, the singer made the comments on Tuesday through social media posts, where he described Oyetola as “the most desperate politician in the world” and alleged that his plans in Osun would fail. Davido wrote on X that Oyetola was “very embarrass”, before following up with another post claiming the current Minister of Marine and Blue Economy was plotting to cause trouble in the state. The outburst comes as political activities intensify before the August 15 governorship election in Osun. The singer has become increasingly active in the state’s politics in recent months. The comments also follow allegations by Accord Party that thugs linked to the All Progressives Congress attacked the campaign office of Governor Ademola Adeleke in Osogbo. TheCable reported that the party’s national chairman, Maxwell Mgbuden, said the attack was the second on the governor’s campaign office within two weeks. He alleged that armed men fired shots, shattered windows and vandalised offices inside the building. Mgbuden further claimed that the attackers wrote “Say no to automatic ticket” on the wall, alleging an attempt to destabilise the state’s political environment ahead of the poll. Davido’s political involvement deepened in April when he was appointed head of youth mobilisation for the Accord Party campaign council supporting Adeleke’s re-election bid. He later inaugurated the Imole youth mobilisation campaign council as part of preparations for the election.
