David Adeleke, known as Davido, has condemned the attack on Asimiyu Ajibola, chairman of the Accord Party in Osogbo Local Government Area of Osun State. In a post on his 𝕏 account on Thursday, Davido denounced the rising insecurity in Nigeria and called for political disputes to be settled peacefully. He specifically addressed the All Progressives Congress, urging them to resolve differences through ballots, not violence. "Regardless of our political differences, everyone must make sure they are not contributing to insecurity in our nation. The attack on the Chairman of Accord Party in Osogbo Local Government by political hoodlums must be condemned and rejected by all. If APC is sure they are popular, let's settle this with ballot papers, not guns or weapons," he wrote.
Ajibola, also known as Baba Isila, is currently fighting for his life after suspected gunmen attacked him and his associates in Osogbo. The incident occurred around 9:50pm on Wednesday near the Community Bank axis in the MDS area. Gunmen opened fire on a blue Toyota Corolla carrying Ajibola and others. One occupant reported that the attackers chased the vehicle and fired repeatedly at it.
Davido calls on APC to reject violence while naming them directly, yet offers no similar public challenge to other parties despite the attack not being linked to APC by the source. The singer's focus on one party introduces a political angle not confirmed by facts on the ground. Nigerians named in the incident, including Ajibola, now face real danger without verified assurances of protection. The state's silence on who carried out the attack leaves the public relying on celebrities for commentary instead of official clarity.
