Popular Nigerian activist, Omoyele Sowore, has criticised Afrobeats singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, over his recent meeting with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Daily Sun reports that Davido and his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, visited Wike at his Abuja residence on Thursday.
A 16-second video circulating on social media showed Davido engaging in a light-hearted conversation with Wike about the outcome of Saturday’s Osun State governorship election.
Reacting, Sowore described them as political hustlers, wondering why the singer was “genuflecting before Nyesom Wike” despite the killing of Osun residents during the election period.
In a post on his X handle, Sowore wrote:
“Nigerian political hustlers will deceive the public, and the gullible will swallow the deception whole.
“Here is the loud and lousy @davido genuflecting before Nyesom Wike @GovWike, barely a week after their ‘agreement is agreement’ election politics in Osun, a contest marred by deadly violence and the loss of scores of lives.
“Behind all the public grandstanding, insults, and manufactured outrage, these political actors know exactly where their interests converge.
“Dissemblers. Gerrymanderers. Carpetbaggers. Political hustlers. Lying machines. When their interests are at stake, the masks come off.”
