Nigerian music superstar, Davido, has publicly criticized the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) following issues surrounding the recent #Edodecides election.
In a now-viral Instagram story, the multi-award-winning artist referred to INEC as “the most dangerous institution in Nigeria,” calling out the electoral body for its alleged incompetence. Davido went further to demand that INEC “fix up” as the world closely watches the unfolding situation.
The Edo State elections, which have been marred by reports of irregularities, delays, and accusations of misconduct, have attracted significant attention across the country. With tensions rising, many have expressed frustration over INEC’s handling of the voting process.
Calls for Accountability
Davido’s criticism reflects a growing sentiment among Nigerian citizens, especially the youth, who have often voiced concerns about the transparency and efficiency of elections in the country. His post, shared with millions of followers, brings further attention to the importance of credible elections and the need for reform within INEC.
This is not the first time the musician has used his platform to speak on political issues. He has previously been vocal about governance and the need for positive change in Nigeria.
Celebrity Influence on Nigerian Politics
The influence of celebrities like Davido in shaping political discourse in Nigeria cannot be understated. By speaking out, he has once again brought to the forefront the power of celebrity voices in calling for accountability from public institutions.
As the situation with #Edodecides continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how INEC will respond to the mounting criticisms. For now, all eyes remain on the electoral body and the integrity of the election results.
