INEC responds to Davido about the certificate of Return in Osun.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has responded to Nigerian Afrobeat star David Adedeji Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, about the certificate of return in Osun.
The INEC has faulted the musician, who is a nephew to the Osun State Governor-Elect, Senator, Ademola Adeleke, over the timeframe for the issuance of a Certificate of Return for Saturday’s governorship election in the state in which Adeleke won.
Recall, Mp3bullet.ng reported that the DMW boss has called out the INEC for failing to provide certificates on time as required by law.

He continued by sternly warning the organization and pleading with it to issue the certificate as required by law.
Replying to Davido, the commission in a statement by its National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, said the commission had up to 14 days to issue the winner with the CoR.
He said, “Those that intervene and play roles in the electoral process should try to have basic knowledge of the constitutive legal instruments that guide and regulate the conduct of elections.
“The commission is a public trust and a creation of the Constitution and the law and must be seen to respond to public demands for transparency and openness.
“The commission will continue to uphold the basic tenets of transparency, openness and inclusivity in the conduct of elections and the delivery of electoral services.”
