Davido Mocks APC Rally in Osun, Says ‘You’ll Lose for the Third Time’

Afrobeats star Davido has reacted to the All Progressives Congress (APC) mega rally in Osogbo ahead of the August 15 Osun State governorship election.

Former Osun State Governor and Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Gboyega Oyetola, had welcomed the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma and other APC governors and party leaders to the state for the campaign rally.

In a post shared ahead of the event, Oyetola described the gathering as an opportunity for APC members and supporters to come together for what he called a peaceful and successful campaign.

He welcomed Akpabio, Uzodimma, Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, other governors and party stakeholders to Osun State.

However, Davido, who has been actively campaigning for his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, dismissed the significance of the APC gathering in a brief but pointed response.

Reacting to Oyetola’s post, the singer wrote:

“If you like gather Jesus 12 disciples o ma LULE for the 3rd time!!!!!”

Davido’s comment was a reference to the previous electoral defeats of the APC camp in Osun and his confidence that Governor Adeleke would retain the governorship seat.

The singer has become increasingly vocal in the Osun election campaign, publicly backing Adeleke and calling for a peaceful and credible election.

His latest comment comes amid an increasingly heated campaign season, with APC and Adeleke’s supporters trading criticism as the election draws closer.

The APC mega rally brought together some of the party’s biggest political figures as the party seeks to regain control of Osun State.

Adeleke defeated Oyetola in the 2022 governorship election after a closely contested race. The result was initially challenged in court before the Supreme Court ultimately affirmed Adeleke’s victory in 2023.

With the 2026 election now only days away, both camps have intensified their efforts to mobilise voters across the state.

Davido’s latest reaction is likely to generate further debate among supporters of the two major political camps as the final days of campaigning continue.
