Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Olusegun Bamgbose, has told President Muhammadu Buhari to honour Grammy Awards winners, Wizkid and Burna Boy<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reported that self-acclaimed African giant, Burna Boy, won the award for the Best Global Music Album \u2018Twice as Tall\u2019, while Wizkid also claimed the Best Music Video for his song with Beyonc\u00e9; Brown Skin Girl, from Lion King: The Gift album.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a thing of joy that two of our famous musicians were recently honoured with Grammy award,\u201d Bamgbose said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is heartwarming. These musicians are really great and notable Ambassadors of Nigeria. They have certainly done the nation proud at a very crucial time in the history of our nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey deserve accolades from every Nigerian. This is a great challenge to our youths that they can equally excel in whatever they are doing as long as they are committed and hardworking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis should encourage them to put their talents at work. Talent is a natural gift from God and it\u2019s not based on your acquiring education.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur youths should wake up and look inward, there must be something in them that if properly utilized, can earn them a living.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne will, however, urge President Buhari to promptly Honour these great Ambassadors of Nigeria with national awards, they deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
