Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has raised the alarm over an alleged plot to arrest members of the Accord Party ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State.
Davido raised the alarm in a post shared on his official X handle on Thursday, urging members and supporters of the party to remain vigilant and stay safe.
The singer claimed that the Accord Party, on whose platform his uncle and incumbent Governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, is seeking re-election, was heading for victory.
“Accord members, stay safe! Just got intel, the next few hours they want to start arresting our people for nothing!
“The plan cannot work! Stay safe! Mount your guard! We are coasting to victory,” Davido wrote.
His allegation comes amid heightened security concerns and political tension in Osun State in the build-up to the governorship election.
There have been allegations of violence and intimidation involving political supporters, while rival parties have continued to trade accusations over the tense political atmosphere in the state.
Adeleke had also alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress was using federal institutions to intimidate his supporters ahead of the poll.
The APC has, however, denied allegations that it plans to deploy federal might to influence the outcome of the election.
As of the time of filing this report, there was no official response from the police or other security agencies to Davido’s allegation.
