Osun: Davido Reacts As EFCC Drags Four Persons To Court Over Vote Buying For Oyetola

Superstar singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has reacted to the report of some persons docked over alleged vote buying for Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State.

Naija News earlier reported that the Ilorin Zonal Command of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), took four suspects to court for alleged vote buying for Governor Oyetola.

The victims were arraigned on Monday before an Osogbo High Court presided by Justice Mathias Agboola for trading votes during the July 16, 2022 governorship election in Osun state in which Davido’s uncle, Ademola Adeleke and Governor Oyetola were major contenders.

According to the EFCC, the defendants were arrested on July 16 at different polling units within the Osogbo metropolis while trading votes for cash.

The charge sheet noted that “Adeyemo Bashiru Abiodun, Abidogun Ismail and Jimoh Kazeem on the 16th of July 2022 in Oshogbo within the jurisdiction of this honourable court conspired to corruptly make monetary gifts to voters at unit 2, ward 2, Isale Odun, Oshogbo, Osun State, in order to induce them to procure the return of Mr. Adegboyega Oyetola to an elective office of the governor of Osun State at the Osun state governorship election.”

However, the case of Nurudeen, who was arraigned separately, was said to have “on 16th July 2022, at Oshogbo within the judicial division of this honourable court corruptly made monetary gifts to voters at polling unit 002, ward 8, Are Agbo Isale Agbara, in order to induce them to procure the return of Adegboyega Oyetola to an elective office of governor of Osun State at the governorship election of July 16, 2022.”

Reacting to the news, Davido took to his Twitter account where he wrote “At this point” followed by laughing emojis.
