Title: Davido Slams Bashir Ahmad Over Osun Election Remarks
Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has criticised former presidential media aide Bashir Ahmad following an exchange over the forthcoming Osun State governorship election.
The disagreement began after Davido took to X on Thursday to celebrate President Bola Tinubu’s telephone conversation with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The singer said he was present during the conversation, describing the moment as one in which he “witnessed history.”
Reacting to the post, Bashir Ahmad said he had bookmarked Davido’s message, expressing confidence that the singer would return to lament if the outcome of the August 15 governorship election did not favour his preferred side.
“This tweet is bookmarked. It will serve as a reference for future events. I know you will come back here to lament if the August 15 results don’t go your way,” Bashir wrote.
Davido responded by mocking Ahmad’s performance during the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship primary election.
“You got 16 votes, bro, in the primaries. STFU,” the singer wrote.
In a follow up post, Davido accused the former presidential aide of failing to make a meaningful impact in his community despite serving for eight years in the administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.
“You measure success by one award. I measure it by sold out arenas, billions of streams, global influence, and people singing my songs across continents.
“You had government backing and still couldn’t convince enough people to back you in your small constituency. You’re a small boy who came into politics by accident.
“You spent 8yrs with the ex president and couldn’t make a change in your poverty stricken community.
“We all have different trophies, Bashir. I’ll keep inspiring the young ones and generations to come while you wait for the next government job to get crumbs,” Davido wrote.
