Edo Guber: Davido canvasses votes for PDP’s Ighodalo
Nigerian music star David Adeleke (Davido) has begun canvassing votes for Asue Ighodalo, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, in the Edo governorship election billed for September 21.
The award-winning music star took to his social media handles on Sunday evening to endorse Mr Ighodalo.
He urged the younger ones to come out en masse to vote for the PDP candidate.
Davido said Mr Ighodalo, who came from the same place as his late mother, was the right candidate to vote for.
The renowned singer captioned it on a picture of the PDP candidate: ”The next governor of my mother’s homeland.”
With millions of followers on social media, Davido’s endorsement could influence the narrative of the upcoming election, particularly among the youth.
Celebrities like Banky W and his wife, actress Adesua Etomi, actress Etinosa, and Nollywood actor and producer Charles Onojie, among others, also publicly supported the PDP candidate.
Other influential business figures like Aloy Chife, former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and former governors Liyel Imoke and Donald Duke of Cross River State have also been vocal in their backing of Mr Ighodalo.
The combination of celebrity endorsements and support from political heavyweights is expected to boost PDP’s chances amidst fierce challenges from the opposition.
