Davido’s logistics manager, Israel DMW, has dismissed claims that the Afrobeats star is secretly working with the All Progressives Congress (APC), insisting that the allegations are false and that the singer has maintained his position on political endorsements.
Israel addressed the reports in a social media post, urging Nigerians to disregard the rumours circulating online. He alleged that the claims were fabricated to generate engagement and drive traffic to social media platforms.
He also claimed that Davido had rejected offers worth several million dollars to endorse a presidential candidate, adding that the singer remained committed to standing with Nigerians facing economic and social challenges.
Israel Denies Davido’s Alleged APC Links
The controversy followed reports alleging that Davido was secretly working with the APC. However, Israel rejected the claims, describing them as fabricated and insisting that his boss had not changed his position.
In his post, the logistics manager appealed to Nigerians not to be misled by the reports, arguing that they were intended to attract attention online rather than reflect the singer’s actual political position.
He wrote: “Dearest Nigerians, kindly disregard the useless rumours going around that Oga has been secretly or currently working for the APC. They are totally fabricated lies meant to drive social media traffic. His earlier stance remains.
Israel’s statement was a direct response to the allegations, with the logistics manager maintaining that there had been no shift in Davido’s position on political endorsements.
The post also sought to address speculation about the singer’s relationship with the ruling party, as Israel insisted that the reports should not be treated as factual.
‘Oga Has Rejected Several Million Dollars’
Beyond denying the alleged APC connection, Israel made a significant claim about the financial offers he said Davido had received from individuals seeking his support for presidential candidates.
According to him, the singer had turned down offers worth several million dollars rather than publicly endorse any presidential aspirant.
Israel presented the alleged decision as evidence that Davido was unwilling to exchange his political position for financial gain.
He further claimed that the singer had repeatedly expressed his desire to remain on the side of Nigerians experiencing economic hardship and other social difficulties.
Israel added: “Oga has rejected several million dollars to endorse any presidential candidate. He keeps saying he would be with Nigerians, who are going through a lot, and that he would never betray them. What else don’t Nigerians want again?”
The statement reinforced Israel’s argument that Davido had not abandoned his previously stated position, despite the reports linking him to the APC.
However, the claim about the alleged multimillion-dollar offers was made by Israel in his social media post. No further details about the individuals behind the offers or when they were supposedly made were provided in the statement.
Davido’s Political Position Under Discussion
The allegations have brought renewed attention to the relationship between celebrity influence and politics in Nigeria, particularly the role entertainers can play in shaping public conversations around elections.
Musicians with large followings often attract attention when their names become linked to political parties or candidates. As a result, reports about possible endorsements can generate discussions among fans and members of the public.
In Davido’s case, Israel’s response focused on rejecting the suggestion that the singer was secretly working with the ruling party.
The logistics manager also sought to draw attention to what he described as Davido’s concern for Nigerians struggling with economic and social challenges.
His comments framed the singer’s alleged refusal to accept endorsement payments as a matter of principle, rather than a financial decision.
Israel Calls For Rumours To Be Disregarded
Israel concluded his message by questioning why Nigerians continued to doubt Davido’s position, given what he described as the singer’s willingness to reject substantial sums of money.
His remarks sought to defend the musician against allegations that could create the impression that he had changed his political stance.
While Israel firmly denied the reports, his post did not provide independent evidence of the alleged offers or further information about the source of the APC claims.
For now, his statement represents a clear rejection of the speculation, with the logistics manager insisting that Davido remains committed to standing with Nigerians.
