The Accord Party has called for the immediate resignation of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, following the controversy surrounding the freezing of Osun State Government accounts.

The party made the demand on Friday while commending President Bola Tinubu for directing the anti-graft agency to reverse the account freeze.

Nigerians have called on Afrobeat star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, to show greater interest in national political issues and also report President Bola Tinubu to the United States President, Donald Trump.

The call came after the singer said he would involve Trump if the forthcoming Osun State governorship election is rigged.

His remark has been greeted with various reactions from Nigerians who questioned why he appears more vocal when political issues involve his family and the Osun governorship contest than on broader national challenges affecting millions of young Nigerians.

DAILY POST reported that Davido had warned he would seek Trump’s intervention if anything goes wrong with the August 15 Osun State governorship election.

Reacting to the development, some X users asked Davido to extend his advocacy beyond the Osun election and speak more consistently on issues affecting the country.

According to them, the singer, who commands a large following among Nigerian youths and has previously used his platform to comment on political matters, could also use his influence to draw attention to national concerns.

They charged the singer to also speak about what critics describe as poor governance, economic hardship, insecurity, unemployment and other challenges confronting young Nigerians.

Here are some reactions gathered by DAILY POST

@Barnny_sommy, “Davido always comes over to fight when his family members are involved. For three years, he has remained quiet, while Nigerian citizens suffer, only for him to come out now disturbing us.”

@NC_Okonkwo, “Why didn’t you involve Biden when things went WRONG with the 2023 Presidential Election? The Osun Election will be rigged and nothing will happen. Na everybody go chop breakfast

@stevejioff, “Davido is a great guy but it’s disappointing he doesn’t speak about issues in the nation, especially those the youths face, until it’s about his family’s Osun election.”

@Mind_____Game, “Davido refused to involve Trump when children and women were kidnapped. Now for his own selfishness he is calling on Trump. Hypocrites

@Akpomamus186428, “It’s all about selfish interest. You have been in rapport with Tinubu despite his criminal history and failure in government. Now the snake is in your corner, you remember Trump.

@TheRealEmma22, “I strongly advise that you involve big daddy now, before @officialABAT rigs that election. The earlier you invite Donald Trump, the better for you. Bcoz we’re not dealing with a human being. Bola Tinubu is a demon that must be exorcised by every means necessary.”

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has inaugurated reconciliation committees ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking during the inauguration on Thursday, the national chairman of the party, Moses Cleopas, named Professor Pat Utomi as chairman of the committee and Buba Galadima as co-chairman.

Cleopas charged the committee to discharge its assignment with fairness, impartiality, integrity, and absolute fidelity to the constitution of the party.

He asked members of the committee to listen patiently, engage widely, reconcile sincerely, recommend boldly where necessary and allow justice and the overall interest of the party guide every decision they make.

“Your assignment is not merely to settle disputes; it is to rebuild confidence, restore trust, strengthen unity, and reassure every member that the NDC remains one united family where justice, fairness, equity, and inclusion shall continue to prevail.

“I wish to assure every aspirant that the party deeply appreciates the sacrifices, commitment, resources, and energy invested by all those who offer themselves of service. The fact that only one candidate emerged in each position, does not diminish the leadership capacity or political value of others.

“Indeed, many of those who did not secure nominations remain invaluable assets whose contributions will be indispensable as we take the campaigns ahead, and by the grace of God, form government in 2027.

“Our campaign must therefore be inclusive. Every committed member must have a role to play. Every stakeholder must feel a sense of belonging. Every grievance, honestly expressed, deserves a listening ear.

“I therefore call upon all aspirants, party leaders, stakeholders, supporters, and members across the federation to cooperate fully with this committee,” he said.
