Afrobeats star **David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido**, has engaged former presidential aide **Bashir Ahmad** in a social media exchange over political representation and community development.
CDA News Nigeria reports that the dispute followed comments by Ahmad, who criticised Davido over his public statements. In response, the singer questioned Ahmad’s record in public office and challenged him to point to notable improvements in his community.
Davido reportedly referenced Ahmad’s previous political contest, claiming that he secured only **16 votes**, while arguing that his time in public service did not produce the level of development expected by residents.
CDA News gathered from the report that the exchange has generated reactions among social media users, with supporters of both personalities debating their records and contributions to society.
The disagreement comes amid broader discussions on the role of celebrities, politicians and public figures in Nigeria’s political space. Davido has previously used his large social media following to comment on political and social issues.
Ahmad, a former aide to former President Muhammadu Buhari, has also remained active on social media, where he frequently comments on political developments and public affairs.
The latest exchange has continued to attract attention online as Nigerians debate whether public figures should be judged mainly by their political records, public advocacy or other contributions to society.
