Nigeria Doesn’t Have True Democracy – Davido

The popular singer stated this when he featured in a recent episode of The Morning Hustle podcast.
Davido explained that he congratulated Donald Trump after his electoral victory despite voting for his opponent, Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party because he believes in American democracy.
“I congratulated Donald Trump. That’s the president! What are you talking about? If I were running against him, I would still have congratulated him.
 
“What I like about America is that there’s true democracy. Where I come from [Nigeria], it’s not so.
 
“To be honest, I voted for Kamala Harris because I wanted to see the first female president in my generation. That would have been cool.”
