Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has taunted the All Progressive Congress, claiming that his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state, is leading in Saturday’s governorship election.

In a series of posts shared on social media as votes were being counted across the state, Davido also claimed that the All Progressives Congress had lost in the ward of former Osun State Governor, Bisi Akande.

“Their group chat don scatter! Baba Akande lost his ward. Gov Adeleke is cruising to victory. Shame APC. Osun no be Edo!” he wrote.

The singer, who has openly mobilised support for Adeleke, also urged residents to remain vigilant and resist what he described as alleged plans by former Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola.

“I implore Osun people to stay vigilant all night and resist plans of Oyetola. Na we get Osogbo! Imole ti woleeeee,” he added.

In another post, Davido expressed confidence that Adeleke would win the election and called for security agencies to remain deployed at electoral locations.

“We are winning, guys! Security agencies shouldn’t be withdrawn from electoral units,” he wrote.

Relatedly, officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission have commenced the sorting and counting of votes at polling units across Osun State following the conclusion of voting.

As of 5:51 p.m. on Saturday, a check of the INEC Result Viewing Portal by our correspondent showed that results from 1695 of the 3,763 polling units had been uploaded.
