Afrobeats superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has clarified the alleged attack on the convoy of Governor Ademola Adeleke.
It was reported that some hoodlums engaged in a gun battle with security personnel attached to Adeleke’s convoy at the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Oyetunji, on Wednesday.
This was shortly after Adeleke received his Certificate of Return from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and visited the palace to celebrate his victory with the traditional ruler.
However, in a post on his verified X handle on Wednesday evening, Davido debunked the report.
He admitted that there was a fight outside the palace of the monarch they visited.
“Lies! It was a fight outside the palace that had nothing to do with us. The people love his excellency,” he tweeted.
DAILY POST reports that Adeleke won the election after polling 511,067 votes to defeat his opponents, including Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who got 444,815 votes.
Najeem Salaam of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, polled 17,180 votes, coming third on the ballot.
