Veteran Nigerian musician, Seyi Sodimu, has asserted that the influence of Nigerian Grammy-nominated singer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido<\/strong>, extends beyond music and could win a governorship election, unlike his colleague, Burna Boy.<\/p>\n Abia Radio News<\/strong> reports that Sodimu, in a recent episode of the \u2018What I Know\u2019 podcast hosted by Korty EO alongside Shaffy Bello, stated that the \u2018Afrobeats Big 3\u2019 all wield different kinds of influence.<\/p>\n The Love Me Jeje crooner explained that Wizkid has a special influence, Burna Boy<\/strong> has purely musical influence, while Davido\u2019s influence has surpassed music.<\/p>\n According to Sodimu, Davido can win a governorship election because of his influence, but Burna Boy cannot win.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cThe [Afrobeats] Big 3, each one is doing it [music] for different reasons. Burna Boy has conquered the stage. And he is good. Wizkid is special. And Davido surpasses music.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWhat do I mean by that? If Davido ran for governor today, he would win. But I don\u2019t think Burna Boy could win as a governor.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n This is not the first time a public figure has tipped Davido for a governorship position, but the singer has not declared interest in contesting for any public office.<\/p>\n Recall that in 2025, a former Nigerian lawmaker, Senator Ben Maurice Bruce, claimed that Davido would one day become the governor of Osun state.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Veteran Nigerian musician, Seyi Sodimu, has asserted that the influence of Nigerian Grammy-nominated singer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, extends beyond music and could win a governorship election, unlike his colleague, Burna Boy.
