Davido won't apologize for sharing Edo gov's alleged WAEC result

Afrobeats star Davido has firmly stated he will not apologize for posting what he claims is Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo's West African Examinations Council result on social media. Davido asserted that his action was justified as he was merely informing the people of Edo State about their governor's academic credentials.

“

I’m not going to apologise. I didn’t do anything wrong. I was just telling people of the state the results their governor has.

The controversy erupted after Okpebholo criticized Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, Davido's uncle, during political activities. Okpebholo had questioned Adeleke's leadership style, characterizing him as a dancer rather than a serious governor. In response, Davido, who has been actively campaigning for his uncle, shared the alleged WAEC result on his Instagram Story.

“

Yes, and you came, you left your state, you came to another state. You came in and then started talking that my uncle is a dancer; he is not serious. The road to your Government House is not done. My uncle is not serious. First of all, you were not even elected; you were selected.

Davido defended his move, accusing Okpebholo of leaving his own state to attack his uncle in Osun. He questioned Okpebholo's legitimacy as governor, suggesting he was "selected" rather than elected and lacked understanding of winning an election. The singer also expressed sympathy for Okpebholo's children, implying the governor's actions reflected poorly on his family.

“

You don’t know what it means to win an election. That’s why you could go there and talk.
