Afrobeat star Davido has publicly criticized Osun State Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Abba, over the ongoing political crisis in the state. The crisis stems from attempts by sacked local government chairmen, elected under the APC, to reclaim their positions despite court rulings removing them from office.
Osun State, currently governed by Davido’s uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, is facing heightened tensions between members of the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress. Governor Adeleke has urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene and restrain his Minister, Gboyega Oyetola, from allegedly using security forces to reinstate the sacked chairmen.
The situation escalated on Monday, February 17, 2025, as gunfire erupted across several local government secretariats when the dismissed chairmen and their supporters attempted to reclaim their offices. Davido took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to call out the Osun State police chief, accusing him of failing to uphold the rule of law.
In a series of strongly worded posts, Davido warned the commissioner against biased actions, stating, “Mr Commissioner, respect the rule of law!!! You are not madder or crazier than us!! Make we all kuru mad!!” He also called the commissioner “a disgrace to your children” and vowed to post about him every day.
