Davido, Bashir Ahmad set to clash in Osun as APC, Acord Party intensify campaign

Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, and an All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain, Bashir Ahmad may clash in Osun State on Tuesday ahead of the August 15 governorship election in the state.

the duo traded jabs on Thursday after President Bola Tinubu held a telephone conversation with the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, who is Davido’s uncle.

Following the call, Davido took to his X handle to celebrate the development, stating that he “was there live! I witnessed history.”

Reacting, Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential media aide, said he had bookmarked the singer’s post, suggesting that Davido would return to the platform to lament the outcome of the governorship election.

However, Davido fired back by mocking Ahmad over his recent performance in the APC primary election, where he allegedly secured 16 votes.

The singer also accused the former presidential aide of failing to impact the lives of people in his community positively despite serving in government for eight years.

Responding in a follow-up post, Bashir disclosed that he would be in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, from Tuesday, August 11, for the APC campaign rallies.

“I will be in Osogbo from 11th, David,” Bashir wrote.

Meanwhile, the governorship race has gathered momentum, with APC’s Bola Oyebamiji and the Accord Party’s incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke intensifying their campaigns ahead of the August 15 poll.
