'We do not want bloodshed. We do not want intimidation. We want peace, transparency, and a free and fair election,' Davido said in a post on X.

Davido's appeal comes as the Osun State governorship election is set to hold on August 15. The singer, who is a nephew of the current governor, Ademola Adeleke, has been vocal about the need for a peaceful election.

Davido's intervention adds to growing calls for a credible election as political activities intensify ahead of the poll. The Osun governorship election is expected to be contested by Adeleke and other candidates, including the All Progressives Congress candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, and the African Democratic Congress candidate, Najeem Salaam.

The singer urged the international community to pay close attention to the election and encourage Nigerian authorities to protect voters and ensure that their votes are respected. He also appealed to the United States to monitor the election.

It's worth noting that Davido has a strong connection to Osun State, being a nephew of the current governor. His appeal for a peaceful election is therefore a call to action that could have a significant impact on the outcome of the poll.

The Osun State governorship election is a crucial poll as it will determine who will govern the state for the next four years. Davido's intervention highlights the need for a free and fair election that will be devoid of violence and intimidation.

In his post on X, Davido emphasized the importance of a peaceful election, stating that voters' choices must be respected. He also urged political actors and Osun residents to reject violence, intimidation, and provocation ahead of the poll.

The latest appeal follows Davido's earlier warning that he would seek Trump's intervention if anything went wrong during the Osun election. Davido made the remark during a live session with comedian Carter Efe, saying he would involve the US president if the electoral process was compromised.

Davido's intervention in the Osun State governorship election has sparked mixed reactions, with some Nigerians praising his efforts to ensure a peaceful election while others have criticized his actions as an overreach.
