Davido fires back at Edo Gov. Okpebholo for mocking Adeleke

 Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido,
has taken a swipe at the Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, hours after the
governor mocked his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, over his
frequent dancing at public events.

 

Davido reacted by sharing what appeared to be Okpebholo’s
West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) result on his
Instagram story, a move many social media users interpreted as a response to
the governor’s remarks.

 

The comments, captured in a video circulating on social
media, showed Okpebholo addressing supporters at a political gathering, where
he criticised Adeleke’s leadership style while urging residents not to vote for
him.

 

Speaking at the event, Okpebholo mocked Adeleke over his
habit of dancing at official functions.

 

“Before somebody signs paper, he will dance. Are you not
tired? For four years this man has been dancing. Before he takes breakfast, he
will dance,” Okpebholo said.

 

He further suggested that the Osun governor was disconnected
from governance.

 

“Before he even enters the plane, he will dance. Before he
gets there, we have closed, so he won’t know what we are saying. He doesn’t
even know the reality of today,” he added.

 

Okpebholo also urged voters to reject Adeleke despite any
financial inducement.

 

“If they bring money, chop that money from them but don’t
vote for them,” he said.

 

Hours after the comments circulated online, Davido responded
by posting what appeared to be the Edo governor’s WAEC certificate on his
verified Instagram story without adding any caption.

 

The document shared by the singer showed grades including D7
in Commerce, Christian Religious Knowledge, Economics and English Language, E8
in Government, and C5 in Mathematics.

 

Davido has not issued any further statement regarding the
post, while Governor Okpebholo is yet to publicly respond to the singer’s
reaction at the time of filing this report.
