Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has labeled the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the most dangerous institution in Nigeria. His remarks came through a series of posts on his X account on Saturday, coinciding with the gubernatorial elections taking place in Edo State.
In his posts, Davido expressed his concerns about the electoral process, emphasizing the need for vigilance among voters. He specifically referred to INEC, stating, “The most dangerous institution in Nigeria @inecnigeria,” highlighting his distrust in the electoral body.
The singer urged residents of Edo to be proactive in ensuring their votes are counted. He advised them to closely monitor the results from the polling units to the state collation center, stressing the importance of transparency in the electoral process.
Davido also criticized INEC for failing to fulfill its promise of electronically transmitting election results. He stated, “We already know that @inecnigeria will not transmit results electronically,” indicating his belief that this lack of transparency could undermine the integrity of the elections.
He further warned that winning an election and being declared a winner are two different matters. This statement underscores his concern about potential discrepancies in the electoral results.
To rally support, Davido encouraged his followers to gather at the collation center starting at 7 PM, urging them to be vigilant and involved in the electoral process. His call to action was clear: “From 7pm make una go Dey mount collation center !! #EdoDecide2024.”
