Davido, the popular Afrobeats singer, has expressed his thoughts on Nigeria’s democracy, stating that it lacks the true democratic values found in the United States. He made this comment during a recent episode of The Morning Hustle podcast.
Davido shared that despite voting for Kamala Harris, he congratulated Donald Trump after his electoral victory. This, he said, was because he believes in American democracy and its values. He emphasized that congratulating the president-elect is the right thing to do, regardless of one’s personal opinions.
The singer attributed his admiration for American democracy to its ability to uphold true democratic principles. In contrast, he feels that Nigeria’s system is flawed and lacks these same values. Davido expressed his desire to see a better democratic system in his home country.
Davido also revealed that his vote for Kamala Harris was motivated by his desire to see the first female president in his lifetime. He thought this would be a groundbreaking moment, and he wanted to be a part of it.
