Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has fired back at former presidential media aide Bashir Ahmad over comments relating to the upcoming Osun State governorship election.
The exchange began after Davido took to X on Thursday to celebrate President Bola Tinubu’s telephone conversation with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
The media had earlier reported that Davido disclosed he was present during the conversation, describing the moment as one in which he “witnessed history.”
Reacting, Bashir Ahmad said he had bookmarked Davido’s post, expressing confidence that the singer would return to lament if the outcome of the August 15 governorship election did not favour him.
“This tweet is bookmarked. It will serve as a reference for future events. I know you will come back here to lament if the August 15 results don’t go your way,” Bashir wrote.
Davido, however, responded by taking a swipe at Ahmad’s performance in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election.
“You got 16 votes, bro, in the primaries. STFU,” the singer posted.
In a follow-up post, Davido further criticised the former presidential aide, accusing him of failing to improve the lives of people in his community despite serving for eight years under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Davido, success should not be measured by political appointments but by achievements and impact.
“You measure success by one award. I measure it by sold-out arenas, billions of streams, global influence, and people singing my songs across continents.
“You had government backing and still couldn’t convince enough people to back you in your small constituency. You’re a small boy who came into politics by accident.
“You spent 8yrs with the ex-president and couldn’t make a change in your poverty-stricken community.
“We all have different trophies, Bashir. I’ll keep inspiring the young ones and generations to come while you wait for the next government job to get crumbs,” Davido wrote.
