Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has raised concerns over the conduct of the ongoing Osun State governorship election, warning voters against accepting election results shared through unofficial channels.

In a series of posts on X on Saturday, Davido urged Osun residents to monitor their votes closely and ensure that polling unit results are uploaded to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) Result Viewing Portal, IReV.

The singer specifically warned his followers against accepting results posted by APC social media handles without verification.

“Every election result posted from APC handles consider it fake. They are failing already. Stay woke guys,” Davido wrote.

“Monitor your votes, let the result be uploaded to IReV and lastly follow your votes to collation center,” he said.

“Make sure your polling unit results are uploaded on IReV in your presence and make sure the figures are entered on eECD8A (electronic EC8A). We will follow our votes bumper to bumper!” he added.

The singer later directly questioned INEC over the delay in the publication of results on the IReV portal.

“INEC, it is now 2:33 p.m., yet no result has been uploaded to the IReV portal. What is the delay? Nigerians deserve transparency and timely updates,” Davido posted.

His comments came as counting had commenced at some polling units in Osun, with reports of complaints over BVAS functionality, allegations of vote-buying and an outbreak of violence at a polling unit in Ejigbo.

The Osun election is being contested by multiple candidates, with the outcome expected to determine whether Adeleke retains the governorship or the APC and other opposition parties take control of the state.
