The president congratulated other Nigerian artists nominated for this year’s Grammy Awards including Yemi Alade, Asake, Wizkid, Lojay, Davido and Burna Boy.
President Tinubu thanked these patriots for putting Nigeria on the global map of great achievers in the music industry and for showcasing the country’s creative excellence.
