President Muhammadu Buhari says hip-hop artistes, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, WizKid, and David Adedeji Adeleke, Davido, have shown the rich talents of Nigeria.
The president said this in a congratulatory message to the artistes on their awards at the Music of Black Origin (MOBO).
According Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, Buhari “joins the teeming fans of the artistes in Nigeria and all over the world in celebrating the highly deserved and meritorious recognition, which saw WizKid winning ‘International Best Artiste’ award, while Davido picked the ‘Best African Act’.”
Adesina said the president affirmed that both singers had showcased the rich talents of the country, and that they had brought pride to the nation through their many songs and performances.
He also said Buhari called on the upwardly mobile artistes to be cautious and mindful of likely distractions to their careers, urging them to serve as ambassadors of the country and role models to upcoming and coming musicians.
