Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has criticized the quality of leadership in Nigeria, describing the country as having some of the “worst governments.”

In a recent chat with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, Davido expressed his disappointment over Nigeria’s leadership but commended the entertainment industry for reshaping the country’s international image in a positive light.

“I am happy that entertainment switched the narrative. We [Nigerians], don’t have the best leaders. We have the worst governments.

“But the music and entertainment industry in general, has impacted our country’s image abroad positively.”

“The entertainment industry is also attracting tourists to the country. Last December, there were more Americans than Nigerians in Lagos. I was like, what are you all doing here?

“Back in the days, we used to be excited when coming to America but now, they are the ones coming to Lagos. It is not just music, it is the culture as a whole. If you go to Paris Fashion Week, about 80 per cent of the models are Africans, the same with the creative directors. It’s impressive.”
