Davido reveals why he loves the United States

Nigerian music superstar Davido has expressed his admiration for the democratic system in the United States, citing its commitment to free and fair elections as a significant contrast to the political climate in Nigeria.
Speaking on ‘The Morning Hustle,’ the artist praised the U.S. electoral process, referencing the recent presidential election as an example of true democracy in action.
Davido revealed he voted for Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party candidate, driven by a desire to witness the first female president of the United States.
While Harris did not win the election, Davido commended the election process for allowing the people’s voices to be heard.
He also extended his congratulations to President-elect Donald Trump, emphasizing that it was important to respect the outcome of a fair election, even if one supported the opposing candidate.
These remarks have stirred discussions around democracy in Nigeria, with many reflecting on the disparities between the two nations’ electoral processes. Davido, 32, is no stranger to speaking on sociopolitical issues and often uses his platform to advocate for progress and change, both in Nigeria and globally.
His comments highlight the growing aspiration among Nigerian youth for a transparent and accountable democratic system.
The conversation also sheds light on the appeal of the American democratic framework and its global influence, particularly in shaping expectations for governance and elections in other nations.
