Osun election: ‘Your mission will fail’ – Davido tells Ebonyi INEC REC

Afrobeats superstar, Davido has told the Ebonyi State Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Resident Electoral Commissioner, Pauline Ugonyeka, that her mission will fail in the Osun State governorship election.

Davido said this in a statement posted on his verified X handle on Friday.

Recall that the singer had questioned the presence of Ugonyeka in Osun State before the governorship election.

Ugonyeka reportedly arrived in Osun State ahead of the governorship election despite Osun not being her assigned state.

Reacting to her continued stay in Osun, Davido wrote, “Mrs Pauline Ugonyeka, I heard you’re still in Osun, your mission tomorrow will fail as the INEC REC. Osun people will stand by their votes.”

DAILY POST reports that the Osun State governorship election is scheduled for August 15, 2026 (today) and is being contested by the incumbent governor, Ademola Adeleke, Davido’s uncle who is seeking re-election, alongside the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the African Democratic Congress, ADC, among others.
