Davido's Alleged Endorsement of Peter Obi Debunked
A video circulating on Facebook since August 17, 2026, falsely claims that Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, known as Davido, endorsed Peter Obi as his preferred candidate for the 2027 general elections. The video, posted by Orange Comedy, garnered significant engagement with 287 likes, 15 comments, and 55 shares.
However, an investigation revealed no credible evidence supporting this claim. In a televised interview, Davido explicitly stated that he had not endorsed any candidate for the upcoming election.
Further reviews of his verified social media accounts showed no posts or statements backing Obi. The 2027 presidential race features President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) paired with Mallam Kwankwaso, and Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) running with Rotimi Amaechi.
The claim of Davido's endorsement is entirely false.
