Davido—who leads the youth mobilization for his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke’s re-election—had earlier warned an unnamed Imo politician against turning the election into a battleground to prove political influence.
In a statement released by his Senior Special Assistant on Electronic and Creative Media, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, Governor Uzodimma responded with the following key points:
-
Misplaced Appeal: Uzodimma stated that Davido’s appeal was baseless and pedestrian, noting that familial ties to Imo State do not warrant targeting the Imo governor. He advised the singer to direct his concerns to the Osun electorate instead.
-
Commitment to Peace: The Imo governor reiterated his consistent support for a peaceful, free, and credible electoral process, emphasizing that the APC campaign remains focused on its candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, through direct voter engagement.
-
Critique of Adeleke’s Administration: Uzodimma slammed Governor Ademola Adeleke’s performance, claiming widespread public dissatisfaction would lead to an APC victory. He offered no specific polling data to back up these assertions.
-
Parting Jibe: Advising Davido to prepare his uncle for life after office, the governor sarcastically suggested that Davido should consider signing the incumbent governor as a dancer in his music band following the expected defeat at the polls.
