Nigerian music star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has urged United States President Donald Trump and the international community to closely watch the August 15 governorship election in Osun State.
Davido made the call in a post on his official X account as political activities intensified ahead of the poll.
His uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and is seeking another term in office.
The singer said the growing concerns surrounding the election made it important for the international community to pay attention to developments before, during and after the poll.
He appealed to President Trump and other international actors to encourage Nigerian authorities to protect voters and ensure that the electoral process is conducted without violence, intimidation or disruption.
According to him, residents of Osun State should be able to participate in the election freely and without fear.
He also called for measures that would prevent violence and protect the lives of citizens who will turn out to vote.
Davido said the people of the state deserve an election that is peaceful, transparent and credible, with voters allowed to make their choices without pressure.
He further urged government officials, security agencies, election authorities and other stakeholders to work together to maintain peace throughout the electoral process.
The appeal comes just days before the Osun governorship election, which has attracted strong political interest across the state.
Governor Adeleke is facing opponents from several political parties as he seeks to retain his position for another term.
Campaign activities have increased across Osun in the build-up to the election, with candidates and their supporters seeking the support of voters in different parts of the state.
