Davido Expresses Distrust in INEC

Nigerian music superstar, Davido, has criticized the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), calling it the “most dangerous institution in Nigeria” amid the Edo State gubernatorial election.

In a series of X posts on Saturday, Davido voiced concerns about INEC’s electronic result transmission promises. “We already know that @inecnigeria will not transmit results electronically, so everyone should be ready to follow the vote/result from the polling unit up until the state collation centre.”

Davido warned that winning and being declared the winner are distinct outcomes. “Winning is one thing. Being declared a winner is another thing! From 7 p.m., make una go dey mount collation center!! #EdoDecide2024.”

His comments has echoed widespread concerns about Nigeria’s electoral transparency, particularly in pivotal state elections.

As Edo State voters cast their ballots, Davido’s message emphasizes citizen engagement and monitoring for a credible process.
