The influence of music in the Osun state election
The state election has proven the kind of power the music industry wields, especially when it comes to pulling off crowds who would go to any length just to catch a physical glimpse of their favourites.
This is one role Davido and Portable are performing, while the former supports his uncle Ademola Adeleke of the PDP, and the latter is behind Governor Gboyega Oyetola of the APC.

Davido is not a new face in Osun state as he came through for his uncle in the 2018 governorship election, which he lost to the incumbent governor.

Portable disses Davido for unfollowing him over Osun election
Ahead of the Osun state governorship election, there has been an ongoing drama between Nigerian singers Davido and Portable, with the two massively backing their preferred candidates.
In the latest video, Portable, also known as Idamu Adugbo, shaded Davido for unfollowing him on Instagram because of their political differences in Osun state.
Portable in the Yoruba language said he is not the son of a wealthy man as he made his father a wealthy man, unlike Davido, whose father Adedeji Adeleke is one of the richest men in the country.
