Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has queried the delay in the uploading of results from Saturday’s Osun State governorship election to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Result Viewing Portal.

In a series of posts on his X account on Saturday, the singer called on the electoral body to ensure transparency and provide timely updates on the election results.

“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.

Davido also urged voters to remain at their polling units until their results had been uploaded to the IReV portal and to ensure that figures were entered on the electronic EC8A result form.

“Make sure your polling unit results are uploaded on IReV in your presence and make sure the figures are entered on eEC8A (electronic EC8A). We will follow our votes bumper to bumper!” he said.

The singer further asked voters to take photographs of their polling unit result sheets and send them to 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 claimed that where the camera on a Bimodal Voter Accreditation System device was not working, election officials could use the front camera, which he described as “very active and fast.”

Davido, whose uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, is seeking re-election on the platform of the Accord Party, has been openly mobilising support for his candidacy during the governorship poll. (PUNCH)
