Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Davido has publicly voiced concerns over the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) delay in uploading results for the Osun State governorship election.

This represented 87.48 percent of the results being on the platform, but the lack of further progress caused alarm.
