“Don’t Allow Anybody Drag You Into Politics” – Akpabio Tells Davido During Courtesy Visit

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has advised Afrobeat superstar, Davido to stay out of politics.

Akpabio gave this advice during Davido’s visit to his office in Abuja on Monday, May 20.

The senate president welcomed the singer warmly, praising him for making Nigeria proud.

He said that President Bola Tinubu’s government aim for unity across party lines, despite Akpabio being from a different political party (PDP).

Akpabio urged Davido to continue being a great ambassador for the country, stressing that the government values talents and will support the entertainment industry.

The Senate president also stressed the importance of Davido focusing on his music career and not getting involved in politics.

He said, “For me and for the government of President Bola Tinubu, it’s an inclusive administration, and you must have noticed in my various outings, that we move as one across party lines.

“Even though your administration is a PDP, one thing that is common to all of us is the interest of this country. And it is a country that has given you so much love.

“The country’s population is unmatched anywhere else in Africa, over 240 million Nigerians. So I urge you to remain a great Ambassador of our country. Continue to do your best in the entertainment industry and don’t allow anybody to drag you into politics.

“For us in the political arena, we value talents. We will do everything possible to support the entertainment industry and talented people like you. All we need is patience and prayers for us to succeed.”

In his remark, Davido explained shared his efforts to help society through his foundation, which donates N300 to N400 million to orphanages annually.

The sunger also announced a new album release planned for June or July of this year.

As for me, I’m doing my part to assist society. I have a Foundation where I share N300 to N400 million to the orphanages yearly.

“And I have a new album coming out in June or July of this year. I just thank you for everything you have been doing for us”, he said.

Davido was accompanied by his cousins, Tunji Adeleke and Folasade Adeleke.

KanyiDaily recalls that Davido and Wizkid recently dragged each other on social media after Wizkid shared a viral video of Davido begging an American model on his knees.
