THE WHISTLER had earlier reported how Afrobeats singer, Davido, called out the electoral umpire over the delay in issuing the certificate of return to Adeleke, his uncle.

Davido, real name David Adeleke, took to his Twitter account with about 12 million followers on Tuesday to query why INEC has yet to issue his uncle with a certificate of return 48 hours after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate defeated the incumbent Governor Gboyega Oyetola who had sought re-election on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform.
