Nigerian award winning singer, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido, said the 2023 presidential election was not credible.
The ‘Jawo’ crooner stated this during an interview with Lagos-based Beat FM as he embarked on a media tour to promote his newly released 17-track album ‘Timeless’.
The singer who was off social media for a while after his son death said, “I’m happy that people were not really coming out. You know if I was online, I would have been really vocal about it (the election). I have always been vocal about it. But, I mean, I was happy about it. That’s just being honest.
“It’s what it is! But I personally don’t feel like that was really a credible election. You know what I’m saying? I feel like the most important thing is the safety of life of everybody. But in all, that wasn’t it. So, I don’t think I will be able to hide that. I can’t hide that.”
Davido for the first time speaks about losing his son and loved ones.
The father of three said, “I made that record funnily enough like 2years ago. That’s the oldest song in the album. Just overtime everybody knows it’s been 11 years. Losing my mum at 10, losing my bestfriend and bodyguard in one-two years, and then my child. All that together. I wouldn’t say the song is sad.
“To me I just feel since I lost them they haven’t left me spiritually. I feel them around me, so I said legends never die. They are all legends. They are gone but to me they aren’t really gone. They will always be here.
That is my most inspirational song”.
