Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has sparked conversations about governance in Nigeria, stating that the country lacks true democracy.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Morning Hustle podcast, Davido contrasted Nigeria’s political landscape with that of the United States, highlighting his admiration for the latter’s democratic system.
The singer revealed that despite voting for Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party during the U.S. elections, he still congratulated Donald Trump on his victory.
“I congratulated Donald Trump. That’s the president! What are you talking about? If I were running against him, I would still have congratulated him,” Davido said.
“What I like about America is that there’s true democracy. Where I come from [Nigeria], it’s not so,” he added.
The Unavailable hitmaker also shared his reason for supporting Kamala Harris, stating, “To be honest, I voted for Kamala Harris because I wanted to see the first female president in my generation. That would have been cool.”
Davido’s remarks have sparked debates online, with fans and political observers discussing his take on democracy and Nigeria’s political system.
