Edo 2024: Davido Endorses Ighodalo For Governor
In a political move that has electrified the campaign trail, award-winning musician, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has thrown his weight behind Asue Ighodalo, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming Edo governorship elections.
On Sunday evening, the superstar took to his Instagram to announce the endorsement, posting a Thisday newspaper cover featuring Dr. Ighodalo, with the caption: “The next governor of my mother’s homeland.”
Davido’s mother hails from Edo State, adding a personal touch to the endorsement that has stirred conversations among political observers and fans alike.
The timing of this endorsement could not be more strategic, as the election is set to take place in less than a week on September 21, 2024.
Davido’s post follows the arrival of his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, in Benin City. Governor Adeleke was part of a delegation of PDP governors who attended the grand finale rally for Dr. Ighodalo on Saturday, signaling the growing support for the PDP candidate from influential political figures across the country.
This endorsement is poised to resonate with younger, often politically disengaged voters, a demographic Davido has successfully mobilized in the past.
With millions of followers on social media, his influence can shift the narrative in a state where voter apathy has historically been a challenge. Several recent polls, including those from BusinessDay and
the African Polling Institute, already showed Dr. Ighodalo leading his rivals by a significant margin, and Davido’s backing could solidify his standing as the front-runner.
Davido’s endorsement adds to a growing list of high-profile figures voicing their support for Dr. Ighodalo.
Celebrities such as Banky W and his wife, actress Adesua Etomi, actress Etinosa; Nollywood actor and producer Charles Onojie have all publicly declared their support for the PDP candidate, alongside influential business figures like Dr. Aloy Chife and former Nigerian Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Former governors Liyel Imoke and Donald Duke of Cross River State have also been vocal in their backing, contributing to the momentum building around Ighodalo’s campaign.
While Ighodalo appears to be the favorite going into the elections, political analysts caution that the race will be fiercely contested. The combination of celebrity endorsements and political heavyweights has given the PDP a boost, but the opposition is expected to mount a vigorous challenge. With election day rapidly approaching, all eyes will be on Edo State as the candidates make their final appeals to voters.
The question remains whether this surge in support, particularly from young voters galvanized by figures like Davido, will be enough to secure a decisive victory for the PDP in what is shaping up to be a pivotal contest for the future of Edo State.

‘You met me for prostitution’ – Ehizogie Ogbebor attacks Diadem Adeola as Dabota Lawson feud deepens
Socialite, Ehizogie Ogbebor, has accused beauty entrepreneur and reality TV star, Diadem Adeola, of involving her in the ongoing dispute with Dabota Lawson.
A voice note of the accusation, allegedly from Ogbebor, was shared by Diadem on her Snapchat story amid the continuing feud involving the two women.
In the recording, Ogbebor challenged Diadem over comments allegedly made about her and questioned her connection with a man identified as Churchill.
Ogbebor also alleged that Diadem travelled to meet her for prostitution more than a decade ago, while denying claims that Churchill had any relationship with her.
She further accused Diadem of previously staying in an Airbnb she rented with her boyfriend and questioned why her name was brought into the dispute.
“You’ve forgotten how you flew in to Uyo to meet me for prostitution 12/13 years ago. You’ve forgotten? Since you want to start, then let’s start talking,” Ogbebor said in the voice note.
She also dismissed an alleged claim that Churchill had rejected her, saying she had no relationship with the man.
“Me, Churchill rejected me? You’re a fool, Churchill no reach,” she said.
Ogbebor further accused Diadem of dragging her name into the dispute after allegedly making claims involving Churchill, while describing him as a man who mistreats women.

“Your favourite Lagos Oloshos are fighting” – Shade Ladipo shades Diiadem and Dabota Lawson following their fallout
Media personality Shade Ladipo has thrown shots at former friends, Diiadem and Dabota Lawson.
The two have been going off at each other, with Diiadem accusing Dabota of using blogs to smear her name.
Responding to her, Dabota noted that she was the best sister in the world for helping Diiadem during her pregnancy with her married boyfriend in November.
She confirmed that Diiadem was dating a married man named Churchill and pretending to be friends with his wife.
Hitting back at her, Diiadem said she had never denied knowing him and claimed Churchill rejected her friend, Ehi Ogbebor and Dabota spent a lot of time trying to make that happen for her.
She claimed Dabota spoke badly about Tonto and further alleged that she tried to introduce her to various men and was sending her pictures to them for her own financial gain.
Reacting to their beef, Shade called them Lagos Oloshos, noting how they are the ones fond of sharing biblical verses and telling people they work hard.
She said that, as someone who worked in the entertainment industry, she was shocked that many of their favourites make most of their money on their backs.
” I hear your fave Lagos Oloshos are fighting.
These are the first people to post Bible verses and tell you how hard they work.
As someone who was in the entertainment industry.
You will be shocked that most of your faves make most of their money on their backs, and this is a fact!!
Well, I guess a blow job is still a job”.
