Popular Nigerian singer David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has declared that he will not support the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the 2027 presidential election, despite his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, endorsing President Bola Tinubu.

The Grammy-nominated artiste stated his position during a recent interview with News Central TV, in a video that has since circulated widely online.

His comments came days after the Osun State governorship election and the announcement of the results.

Davido explained that his uncle’s decision to back Tinubu after securing victory in the election did not mean he had to adopt the same political position.

The singer also reflected on his participation in previous political campaigns, recalling his support for former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar when both were members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Davido said, “I defeated 17 governors with all their power, with all their immunity, escort commanders, DSS, with all their billions. I defeated them with just a phone.

“For now, I feel like I did what I had to do for the Osun people and my family.

“You can’t force me to have a presidential candidate. My uncle might have his personal reasons for the gain of the state.”

Speaking about his uncle’s decision to support Tinubu, Davido said, “My uncle, immediately he won, came out to declare his support for President Tinubu. But as for me, I am not prepared to support anybody.

“I personally haven’t seen anybody in the past. Yes, I have supported Atiku before when we were in PDP, and I even supported in 2015 when APC first did the merger. My late uncle was part of the APC, so I campaigned then.

“But right now, I don’t have a presidential candidate. It might change, sha. It’s not going to be APC, but everybody should have their own,” he said.
