Davido Bashir Ahmad feud: Singer mocks 16-vote primary result, community impact
Davido attacked Bashir Ahmad on X after Ahmad bookmarked Davido's post celebrating President Tinubu's call with Osun Governor Adeleke, predicting Davido would lament the August 15 Osun election outcome. Davido replied that Ahmad got only 16 votes in the APC primaries and told him to "STFU." He also accused Ahmad of failing to improve his poverty-stricken community despite serving eight years as presidential media aide under former President Buhari.
The exchange matters because it highlights how celebrities and political figures use social media to settle scores, reflecting broader debates about what constitutes success in public life. For Nigerians ahead of the Osun governorship election, it raises questions about valuing tangible community development versus popular acclaim and global influence when assessing leaders.
Davido measures success by sold-out arenas, billions of streams, and global influence, while Ahmad points to his government service. When evaluating public officials, do you prioritize measurable community improvement or popular influence and accolades?
