Grammy-nominated singer Davido, whose full name is David Adeleke says his reason for choosing Akwa Ibom as the first state to host his music concert in Nigeria after 14 years on stage is due to the state’s standard facility.
He made this known while speaking at a pre-concert reception hosted by Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno and the Senate President, Senator Godwill Akpabio, in Uyo, on Sunday.
According to the artist, Akwa Ibom was at the top of the list while they were looking for a state in Africa to host the music concert. He also added that everything about Akwa Ibom State is beautiful, stating that if all states in the country were like the state, he would have been comfortable touring around the whole country.
He said, “When we were looking around Africa, five places came, and Akwa Ibom was at the top of the list. A lot of people are flying from other states that don’t have this type of facility.
“I am excited, it is(the Akwa Ibom tour) is best of its kind. We toured America already, and it was a great success, and we were looking for a good facility around Africa, and Akwa Ibom is one of the places that we found out.
”You have a standard facility, that’s why we are starting here. As time goes on, we will keep doing the other states, and I am just excited the stadium is already filled up, so let’s get ready and shut it down.”
Davido also commended Governor Eno for his good works in the state, especially in maintaining peace and security and for providing platforms for the youths to excel.
