Several reactions have trailed the video of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, meeting award-winning Nigerian singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido.
The former Governor of Anambra State met with Davido at a ceremony in Lagos on Saturday, December 9, 2023.
In a birthday message via Twitter, Obi commended the singer for his philanthropy work and noted that he has helped nurture many talents in the music industry through his charity.
He prayed for God to bless the singer with good health, fruitful years, and the grace to make more impacts in Nigeria.

So what’s the celebration for? Obi is yet to clear the allegations against him, while Davido was absent during the campaign season & general elections. The way we Nigerians quickly forget is awful!.”
