Afrobeats singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has questioned the delay in uploading results from Saturday’s Osun State governorship election to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Result Viewing Portal, IReV.
The singer raised the concern in a series of posts on his X account, calling on INEC to ensure transparency and provide timely updates as the collation of results begins.
Davido said it was unusual that results had not been uploaded to the portal several hours into the voting process.
“INEC, it is now 2:33 p.m., yet no result has been uploaded to the IReV portal. What is the delay? Nigerians deserve transparency and timely updates,” he wrote.
He also urged voters to remain at their polling units until their results had been uploaded, while encouraging them to ensure that the figures recorded on the physical result sheets were properly entered on the electronic EC8A form.
“Make sure your polling unit results are uploaded on IReV in your presence and make sure the figures are entered on eEC8A. We will follow our votes bumper to bumper!” he said.
The singer further advised voters to take photographs of their polling unit result sheets and submit them through a WhatsApp number shared in his post.
“Don’t leave your polling unit until it is being uploaded on the IReV, protect your vote now,” he added.
In another post, Davido commented on the operation of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, suggesting that officials could use the front camera of the device where the main camera was not functioning.
Davido has been actively involved in the Osun governorship election, openly campaigning for his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the Accord Party.
His latest comments came as voters and political parties continued to monitor the electoral process and await the official collation and announcement of results by INEC.
