Davido, who has been actively campaigning for his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, alleged that an Imo politician was planning to interfere in the August 15 governorship poll and appealed for Osun residents to be allowed to choose their leader without interference.
Reacting through his Senior Special Assistant on Electronic and Creative Media, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, Uzodimma dismissed the remarks, saying Davido's appeal was misplaced.
"It is rather pedestrian for Davido to direct such an appeal to the Chairman of the Progressive Governors' Forum simply because his wife is from Imo State. Instead, his appeal should be directed to the people of Osun State, who will ultimately decide the election's outcome through their votes."
Uzodimma reaffirmed his commitment to a peaceful, free and credible election, adding that the APC would continue to campaign for its governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji.
The governor also criticised Governor Adeleke's administration, claiming it had failed to meet the expectations of Osun residents.
"The signals emerging from across Osun State are clear. There is a growing indication that a significant number of voters have rejected the current administration and are prepared to embrace a new direction."
He further advised Davido to focus on preparing his uncle for life after office rather than making emotional appeals.
"Rather than attempting to influence Governor Hope Uzodimma through emotional appeals, Davido should concentrate on helping his uncle prepare for life after office."
Uzodimma added with a jab:
"Perhaps, Davido should also begin making preparations to officially sign his uncle as a dancer in his musical band because, judging by the mood of the electorate, he may well be out of a political job after the August 15, 2026, governorship election."
