'I love Politics, it’s in my blood', says singer Davido

Award-winning Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, says he loves politics can’t stay away from it because it is in his blood.

OBO said this while responding to a Twitter user, who advised him to avoid politics.

It so happens that on Saturday, the singer addressed a recent court judgment barring the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognizing his uncle, Ademola Adeleke, as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the upcoming Osun governorship election.

 

Ademola was proclaimed the winner of the alternative PDP governorship primary election, which was sponsored by the party's national working committee (NWC), while Dotun Babayemi was named the winner of the Olagunsoye Oyinlola faction.

But an Osun state high court had ordered INEC not to recognise the former senator’s victory at the polls.

Some people had argued that the court’s decision could jeopardise the ex-lawmaker’s ambition at the much-awaited Osun gubernatorial election.

In his reaction, Davido wrote, "Stop spreading this nonsense cap, state courts don’t have jurisdiction, only federal high courts can handle post primary matters. Keep fooling y’all selves! #IMOLEDE."

Responding to the singer’s post, a Twitter user identified as Chime Fabian, wrote: "OBO, how I wish you have stayed off politics!!!!"

Davido, however, reacted. "Sorry it’s in my blood and it’s def my passion … and it ain’t stopping sh*t!"
