Afrobeat sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has publicly criticized the Osun State Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Abba, amid the ongoing political unrest in the state.
Osun State, currently governed by Davido’s uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, has been embroiled in heightened tensions between members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The crisis stems from attempts by sacked local government chairmen, who were elected under the APC, to reclaim their positions despite court rulings that removed them from office.
Over the weekend, Governor Adeleke held a press conference urging President Bola Tinubu to intervene and restrain his Minister, Gboyega Oyetola, from allegedly using security forces to reinstate the dismissed chairmen. The governor emphasized that any grievances should be addressed through legal appeals rather than forceful takeovers.
The situation escalated on Monday, February 17, 2025, when gunfire erupted across multiple local government secretariats. The dismissed chairmen and their supporters attempted to forcefully reclaim their offices, facing strong resistance from PDP members.
Amid the unfolding chaos, Davido took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to call out the Osun State police chief, accusing him of failing to uphold justice and the rule of law.
