Senate president, Davido, a well-known Afrobeat musician, has been cautioned by Godswill Akpabio not to let anyone draw him into politics.
Akpabio issued the warning during the singer's courtesy visit to Abuja on Monday.
Akpabio thanked Davido for making the nation proud and expressed his happiness upon receiving the musician.
He told the singer: “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."
On his part, Davido informed the Senate President of the purpose of his visit.
“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”, the singer said.
Davido was in company of two of his cousins, Tunji Adeleke, the son of his late uncle, senator Isiaka Adeleke and Folasade Adeleke, the daughter of Osun State Governor.
