Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has urged members and supporters of the Accord Party in Osun State to remain vigilant ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
Davido, whose uncle Governor Ademola Adeleke is seeking re-election on the Accord platform, raised the alarm in a post on his official X account on Thursday.
The singer alleged that there was a plan to arrest some Accord members in the hours leading up to the election.
“Accord members, stay safe! Just got intel, the next few hours they want to start arresting our people for nothing!”
Davido further encouraged supporters to remain cautious, insisting that he believed the party was heading for victory.
“The plan cannot work! Stay safe! Mount your guard! We are coasting to victory.”
His comments come as political tensions continue to rise across Osun ahead of the August 15 election, with rival parties exchanging allegations of intimidation and possible violence.
Governor Adeleke has also accused the APC-led federal government of using federal institutions to pressure his supporters, while the APC has denied plans to use federal influence to manipulate the election.
As of the time of reporting, there had been no official response from the police or other security agencies confirming Davido’s allegation.
