“APC Spent ₦110 Billion on Osun Election… If They Had Gotten Away With That Election, Then Nigeria is Finished” — Davido Alleges
Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) spent a staggering ₦110 billion on the recent Osun State governorship election.
Davido made the claim during an interview with NewsCentral TV, where he discussed the outcome of the election and the intense political contest that preceded the poll.
The singer was responding to an allegation that the APC had spent about ₦60 billion in an attempt to influence the outcome of the election.
According to him, the actual amount was significantly higher than the figure being circulated.
“It is more than that. I just confirmed today that APC spent ₦110 Billion. If you see the cash. If they had gotten away with that election, then Nigeria is finished.“ Davido stated
Davido, who openly supported his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, during the election campaign, suggested that the alleged level of spending demonstrated the enormous financial resources deployed in the contest.
His remarks have added a fresh dimension to the post-election discussions surrounding the Osun governorship election, particularly debates over the influence of money and political spending in Nigeria’s electoral process.
The election attracted significant attention from political parties, prominent politicians, entertainers and other influential figures, with Davido playing a highly visible role in campaigning for his uncle.
The singer repeatedly rallied support for Governor Adeleke ahead of the poll and celebrated the governor’s victory after the results were announced.
His latest comments are expected to generate further debate over campaign financing, electoral spending and the role of money in Nigeria’s democratic process, especially as political parties increasingly deploy substantial resources to secure electoral victories.
However, the allegation of ₦110 billion in spending remains Davido’s claim and would require independent verification from relevant electoral and fin
ancial authorities.
