Osun election: Nollywood actress, Ireti Doyle speaks on Davido’s active involvement
involvement in the politics of Osun state in the past few weeks.
Davido, whose uncle is the standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, in the yet to be concluded governorship election in the
state, has been a strong youth mobiliser for the opposition party.
However, Mrs Doyle said if Nigerians had demonstrated a similar
passion and fervour in politics as Davido, the nation would have
escaped the political and socio-economic doldrums it has found itself
in present times.
She went further to urge Nigerians to get their PVC and aggressively
support the candidate of their choice during the 2019 elections.
Sharing a photo of Davido on Instagram, the actress wrote on her
Instagram handle: "Who he's campaigning for and why is immaterial and
beside the point.
"The way I see it, if a quarter of us got involved and pursued our
political preferences with as much passion, single-mindedness,
loyalty, doggedness and "we die here" fervour that @davidoofficial has
displayed and sustained over the last several days, it's safe to say
that the last 2 decades probably wouldn't have gone down the way they
have and we probably wouldn't be in the current socio-political
situation we are in.
"It doesn't matter how cerebral or articulate you are; backseat
driving and armchair political analysis don't change a thing.
"Everyone is analysing what A, B, C and D are doing, the real question
is what are you doing? How are you getting involved? What is your
political preference and how are you ensuring that you are effectively
represented?
"Alas, classic Nigerianese, you no go do, person wey gree do will be
damned for doing… Na so!
"Davido has found his "why". I am PVC ready currently on the lookout
for my "why". A candidate whose politics I agree with, who I feel I
can trust."
