LAGOS — Afrobeats superstar Davido has declared he has no preferred presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, firmly ruling out any alignment with the ruling All Progressives Congress .
CDA News Nigeria gathered that the singer made this known during an interview with News Central TV, addressing questions about his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke’s, endorsement of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid . “My uncle, immediately he won, came out to declare his support for Tinubu, but for me, I’m not propelled to support anybody. I personally haven’t seen anybody,” Davido stated .
CDA News Nigeria reports that the Grammy-nominated artiste’s current stance is a departure from his previous political engagements. He recalled supporting former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and campaigning for the APC in 2015 when his late uncle was a member .
“When you say force of the federal government… ask those who have survived it, though—people like me who survived federal might,” he declared.
Davido further explained he has no interest in contesting for political office, citing the unpredictable nature of the country’s political system. However, he acknowledged that the opposition’s current disunity could make the President’s re-election easier to achieve.
“The opposition now in Nigeria, if they’re going to say, ‘OK, David, put your money down, this one, I have to decide.’ It is not, ‘Oh, I don’t want to be involved in the presidential election.’ I might say, ‘OK, I think the president might walk over on it’ because the opposition is divided,” he stated .
