Nigerian music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has appealed to US President Donald Trump and the international community to pay close attention to the upcoming election in Osun State amid concerns over possible violence and disruption of the electoral process.

Davido made the appeal in a statement shared on social media on Tuesday, urging Trump to take note of developments in the southwestern Nigerian state as residents prepare to vote.

“President Donald Trump, I am calling your attention to the situation in Osun State, Nigeria, as we approach the election,” he wrote.

The award-winning musician said there were concerns about tensions in the state and the possibility of violence and intimidation during the electoral process.

He called for measures to ensure that voters could exercise their constitutional rights freely and without fear.

“We do not want bloodshed. We do not want intimidation. We want peace, transparency, and a free and fair election,” Davido said.

He also urged the United States and the wider international community to monitor the election and encourage Nigerian authorities to protect voters and uphold the integrity of the ballot.

Davido’s intervention comes as attention focuses on the political and security environment ahead of the Osun poll, with calls for a peaceful electoral process.

The musician has previously used his public platform to comment on political and social issues in Nigeria.

His latest appeal places the upcoming Osun election under additional international and public scrutiny, particularly among his large following in Nigeria and across Africa.

He did not provide specific evidence in his statement to substantiate the concerns about possible violence.

He instead urged authorities and stakeholders to prioritise peace, transparency and respect for the will of voters.
