Victor AD Clarifies Rumours That He Wrote ‘Jowo’ for Davido (Video)

Popular singer Victor AD has clarified reports that he wrote Davido’s hit song ‘Jowo.’

He made the clarification in a recent interview with Naija FM, Lagos.

Recall that a report that went viral on X (formerly Twitter) a few months ago claiming Victor AD said Davido “stole” his hit song ‘Jowo’ from him during a studio session.

However, speaking during the interview, the Warri-born music star clarified that he didn’t write the song.

He said the rumours almost ruined his relationship with Davido.

Victor AD said: “From nowhere, someone speculating that Victor AD wrote [Davido’s] ‘Jowo.’ I’m not social media-savvy. Most times, before I notice happenings on social media, it would be two days after the matter has trended.

“My manager actually called my attention to the ‘Jowo’ controversy on social media but I didn’t take it seriously. Later on, I said let me just check the trend on social media. Then a few hours later, I saw Davido’s message. He was like, ‘Whatsup na? Wettin dey sup with this whole ‘Jowo’ thing?’. And I said I didn’t know anything about it.

“I told him that based on the love and respect I have for him I can’t do something that will tarnish his image. I’m not even the type of person that will claim what I’m not. Why would I be seeking credit for what I didn’t do?”

Since the incident, Davido and Victor AD are no longer following each other on social media.

The duo collaborated on ‘Tire You’ before their relationship grew cold after rumours that Victor AD accused Davido of song theft.

Govt Shuts Popular Market In Ilorin, Kwara State

market

The Kwara State government has shut the popular Mandate Market in Ilorin, over failure to comply with environmental laws.

The suspension was announced on Thursday by the Commissioner for Environment, Mallam Shehu Ndanusa Usman, during an inspection visit to the market.

The commissioner regretted that despite multiple warnings from the ministry, the market leaders failed to adhere to the environmental law.

He said the decision to close the market was made after numerous meetings with the market leaders and the ministry, where the importance of maintaining a clean environment and preventing the outbreak of epidemics was emphasized. However, the lack of compliance necessitated the government’s action.

Usman said the strict action taken was enough warning to all other markets located in the state at large to desist from violating environmental laws, or else the ministry would not have no option but to close down defaulting markets.

He, however, reiterated the commitment of the present administration to sustain a clean and hygienic environment to ensure the healthy living of Kwara residents.

Naija News reported that after several hours of closure, the market was reopened following the intervention of some stakeholders in the state, with a promise to comply with the government directive.

Speaking on the issue, a market women leader (Iyaloja), Adenike Lambe, said it was regrettable that the environment was unkempt despite several efforts by the government.

“We have a consultant in the market collecting N1,000 monthly, and there have been a series of meetings between the leadership of the market and the government. They (the government) even offered to provide payloaders free of charge. Although the refuse is still there, I think the government just decided to open it for now because of negative implications to the economic situation,
” she added.

The leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC UK Chapter has warned against a planned protest against President Bola Tinubu in London.
According to APC UK, such a move remains a misadventure.
Mr Tunde Doherty, Chairman of the UK chapter of the ruling party, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Lagos.
Doherty, who is also the APC Committee of Diaspora Chairmen, said he felt compelled to respond to the recent allegations and statements made by a group led by Aisha Yesufu, an activist and a supporter of the Labour Party.
He stated that the group was planning to stage the protest in London to propagate their claims about the educational credentials of the president.
“It has come to our attention that this group is organising a protest in London to propagate unfounded claims about the educational credentials of President Bola Tinubu.
 
“We firmly believe our responsibility is to address this matter and underscore the significance of relying on substantiated facts over premature and unsubstantiated allegations.
 
“President Bola Tinubu, a seasoned and distinguished statesman, has a long and illustrious track record of serving our great nation.

Tinubu, EFCC Given 7-day Ultimatum To Release Emefiele

President Bola Tinubu has been given an ultimatum to release embattled former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, from the Economic and Financial Crime Commission’s (EFCC) custody.
Convener of the Coalition of Civil Society for Defence of Human Rights, Yusuf Maje gave the 7-day ultimatum in Abuja on Thursday.
The group described the arrest of Emefiele by EFCC as unreasonable and a show of overzealousness.
They subsequently gave President Bola Tinubu a seven-day ultimatum to release Emefiele or charge him to court.
Recall that Emefiele was taken into custody by the EFCC immediately after his release from the Department of State Service (DSS) on October 25.
Reacting to the development, Maje said Emefiele’s travails in the hands of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration are a witch hunt.
According to him, “We submit that his further arrest amounts to double jeopardy. It is overzealousness by EFCC and a waste of government-scarce resources to subject an innocent citizen to such an ordeal just “to teach him a lesson”. Public members are worried that EFCC has allowed itself to be used as an instrument of oppression rather than the anti-corruption agency that it ought to be.
 
“We state authoritatively that the tossing of Godwin Emefiele like a football in the field from one government agency to another in the name of investigation is unacceptable and will be frontally resisted. We reject this Gestapo way of doing things because Nigeria is no longer under a military junta where the rights of innocent citizens can be abruptly suspended. Granted that President Tinubu is doing everything possible to rid the country of corruption and reposition the same on the path of economic growth and sustainable development through his Renewed Hope Agenda.
 
“On a final note, we hereby demand that Godwin Emefiele should be released from EFCC detention or charged to court Within the Next seven from today. In the unlikely event that this demand is not met, then the Federal Government will have the overwhelming population of our Coalition to contend with across the country.”
