Afrobeats singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has questioned the delay in uploading results from Saturday’s Osun State governorship election to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Result Viewing Portal.
In a series of posts on his X account on Saturday, the singer urged the electoral body to ensure transparency and provide timely updates on the election results.
“INEC, it is now 2:33 p.m., yet no result has been uploaded to the IReV portal. What is the delay? Nigerians deserve transparency and timely updates,” he wrote.
Davido also urged voters to remain at their polling units until their results were uploaded to the IReV portal and to ensure that the figures were entered on the electronic EC8A result form.
“Make sure your polling unit results are uploaded on IReV in your presence and make sure the figures are entered on eEC8A (electronic EC8A). We will follow our votes bumper to bumper!” he said.
The singer further advised voters to photograph their polling unit result sheets and send them to a WhatsApp number provided in his post.
“Don’t leave your polling unit until it is being uploaded on the IReV, protect your vote now,” he added.
In another post, Davido claimed that election officials could use the front camera of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System device when its camera was not functioning, describing the front camera as “very active and fast.”
Davido, whose uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, is seeking re-election on the platform of the Accord Party, has been openly mobilising support for his candidacy ahead of the governorship poll.
