Nigerian Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has said he has yet to decide which presidential candidate to support in the 2027 general election, but made it clear that he will not back the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Davido made the remarks during an interview with News Central TV on Tuesday, where he disclosed that he currently has no preferred candidate for the presidency.
The singer also acknowledged that his position differs from that of his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, who recently endorsed President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term.
Davido explained that while the governor announced his support for Tinubu shortly after securing re-election, he does not feel obligated to adopt the same political position.
“My uncle, immediately he won, came out to declare his support for Tinubu, but for me, I’m not propelled to support anybody. I personally haven’t seen anybody.
“In the past, yes, I’ve supported Atiku before when we were in PDP, and I supported in 2015 when APC first did the merger; my late uncle Isiaka Adeleke (Serubawon) was part of the APC, I campaigned then.
“Right now I don’t have a presidential candidate. It might change, but it’s not going to be APC. Everybody should have their choice”, he said.
Davido’s comments come shortly after Governor Adeleke publicly declared his support for Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid following his victory in the Osun governorship election.
While the singer said his preferred candidate could still change before the election, he maintained that the APC would not be his choice.
