Popular Nigerian singer Davido has officially endorsed and declared support for Asue Ighodalo as the next governor of Edo State. The endorsement was made public in a post shared on the singer’s verified Instagram page today, where he expressed confidence in Ighodalo’s candidacy, referring to him as the “next governor” of his motherland, Edo State. This connection holds sentimental value for Davido, whose late mother hailed from Benin, the capital city of Edo State.
This endorsement adds significant momentum to Ighodalo’s gubernatorial campaign, especially considering Davido’s massive following and influence, both in Nigeria and internationally. Many of Davido’s diehard fans, known for their loyalty, are likely to rally behind Ighodalo, strengthening his support base ahead of the September 21 election.
Asue Ighodalo, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party PDP, has gained great support in his bid to become Edo State’s next governor. With Davido’s backing, his candidacy receives a notable boost, potentially influencing the youth vote and giving him a competitive edge at the polls.
