Davido's aide backs Atiku Abubakar for presidency
Israel DMW, a close aide to musician Davido, expressed his support for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the African Democratic Congress, in the upcoming presidential election. He stated that it is "always far better when a Northern Nigerian rules" and criticized the allocation of a N15 trillion contract to a single individual.
DMW urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to allow Nigerians to freely choose their leaders in the January 2027 elections. His endorsement comes amid backlash against Davido for supporting Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, who recently joined President Bola Tinubu's reelection campaign.
Davido had previously campaigned for his uncle under the Accord Party, opposing the ruling All Progressives Congress. DMW also dismissed claims regarding the 2.5 million votes expected from Edo State, asserting that Adams Oshiomole could not deliver significant votes for his party despite being a popular governor.
