However, Davido did not show up, prompting reactions from fans who had gathered for the event.
In a post shared afterwards on his Instagram story on Monday, the singer explained that logistical challenges linked to fuel shortages disrupted his travel plans, forcing a reschedule.
“The world happened to me yesterday. These wars around the world have really started penetrating. Finding fuel was a problem yesterday to even fly. Everything had to be rescheduled,” he said.
He apologised to fans who turned up for the show, assuring them that he would make it up to them.
“To my fans that pulled up… sorry I missed it. We’re going to run it back again soon,” he added.
The development comes amid wider global concerns over fuel supply disruptions, particularly affecting the aviation sector, with rising costs and shortages impacting flight schedules in several regions.
Davido also congratulated the organisers of the event, reiterating his support while promising a future appearance.
