Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known by his stage name Davido, has lambasted Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential media aide, over his remarks on the Osun State governorship election.

DAILY POST reports that the exchange began after Davido took to X on Thursday to celebrate President Bola Tinubu’s telephone conversation with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.

In the post, Davido said he was present during the phone conversation, adding that he “witnessed history.”

Reacting to the post, Bashir Ahmad said he was bookmarking Davido’s post, expressing confidence that the singer would return to X to lament the outcome of the August 15 governorship election.

“This tweet is bookmarked. It will serve as a reference for future events. I know you will come back here to lament if the August 15 results don’t go your way,” Bashir wrote.

However, Davido responded with another remark, mocking Bashir’s performance in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election.

“You got 16 votes, bro, in the primaries. STFU,” the singer wrote.

In another post, Davido accused the former aide of failing to change the lives of people in his community despite serving for eight years in the administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.

“You measure success by one award. I measure it by sold-out arenas, billions of streams, global influence, and people singing my songs across continents.

“You had government backing and still couldn’t convince enough people to back you in your small constituency. You’re a small boy who came into politics by accident.

“You spent 8yrs with the ex-president and couldn’t make a change in your poverty-stricken community.

“We all have different trophies, Bashir. I’ll keep inspiring the young ones and generations to come while you wait for the next government job to get crumbs,” Davido wrote.

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kalu Kalu, on Thursday insisted that President Bola Tinubu has been submitting forged certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, since 1999.

Kalu disclosed that Tinubu submitted forged certificates to INEC in 1999, 2023, and now.

He spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today, while reacting to the controversy over Tinubu’s missing certificates on INEC’s forms.

Tinubu had failed to submit his primary and secondary school certificates to INEC.

However, Kalu insisted that Tinubu’s documents are forged and fake.

According to Kalu: “The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria says no person shall be qualified to contest for the office of the president if that person has presented a forged certificate to INEC, that is the law.

“Today, Tinubu has submitted forged certificates and I would list them now.

“The substance of this issue is did Tinubu in 1999 submit forged certificates to INEC? The answer is yes, did Tinubu submit forged certificates to INEC in the 2023 election? The answer is yes.

“I’m saying it here on national television for the whole world to know that Tinubu in 1999 deposed that he attended Saint Paul’s Primary School in Ibadan which is false, let Tinubu, his handlers, and Ogala come out and say that it’s not false.”
