Afrobeats star Davido paid a surprise courtesy visit to President Tinubu at the Aso Villa, joined by Cubana Chief Priest and Ubi Franklin. While the moment was all smiles in Abuja, Nigerians online weren’t as cheerful. Many called out the singer’s recent criticisms of the country’s economy, accusing him of flip-flopping.
- Davido visited President Tinubu with Cubana Chief Priest and Ubi Franklin.
- He introduced his friends as APC loyalists during their meeting.
- Ubi recalled campaigning in 15 states for Tinubu; Cubana predicted “2027 success.”
- The visit follows earlier ones to Akpabio, Shettima, and Tajudeen Abbas.
- Online reactions skewed negatively, citing Davido’s recent critical comments on Nigeria’s economy.
In a country where celebrity influence stretches beyond music charts, Davido’s appearance at the Presidential Villa was bound to spark commentary. But the timing is ruffling feathers: just weeks ago, the artist warned African-Americans against visiting Nigeria, citing inflation and fuel prices. Now he’s breaking bread with the same political class he indirectly criticised. The question isn’t just “why now?” it’s “which Davido should we believe?”
Whether it was a political PR move or simply a celebrity courtesy call, Davido’s visit to Tinubu sends a message and Nigerians are decoding it fast. In an election-fueled climate, every handshake makes a headline.
