Senate president Godswill Akpabio, has showered praise on Afrobeat star David Adeleke a.k.a Davido concerning his contributions to the recognition of Nigerian music worldwide.
Senator Akpabio who was speaking when Davido and two of his cousins Tunji Adeleke and Folasade Adeleke paid a courtesy visit to him Monday in Abuja, said Davido has made the country proud with his sold-out performances around the world. He said the government would continue to support the entertainment industry.
“You have made us very proud within the International Community,” Akpabio stated.
“It is a country with a population that is unmatched anywhere else in Africa. Over 240 million Nigerians. So I want you to continue to remain a great Ambassador of our country. Don’t allow anybody to drag you into politics. Continue to do your best in the entertainment industry.
“The entertainment industry is like a pyramid. You start from the ground until you get there. When you are on top, your own way is how to remain there. So anybody who walks on a tightrope must learn how to do the balancing act. And so, your job is to remain there.”
