Afrobeats musician David Adeleke, often known as Davido, has generated debate regarding governance in Nigeria, claiming that the country lacks genuine democracy. During a recent episode of The Morning Hustle podcast, Davido compared Nigeria's political scene to that of the United States, emphasising his admiration for the latter's democratic system.
The singer confessed that, despite voted for Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party in the US elections, he congratulated Donald Trump on his win. I congratulated Donald Trump. That is the president! What exactly are you talking about? "Even if I were running against him, I would have congratulated him," Davido remarked. "What I enjoy about America is that there is genuine democracy. It is not the case in Nigeria, where I am from," he remarked. The Unavailable hitmaker also explained why he supported Kamala Harris, saying, "To be honest, I voted for Kamala Harris because I wanted to see the first female president of my generation." "That would have been cool."
Davido's comments have generated internet conversations, with fans and political analysts debating his views on democracy and Nigeria's political structure.
