Akpabio shared this cautionary advice on Monday during Davido’s courtesy visit to Abuja.

Welcoming Davido, Akpabio expressed his admiration for the musician’s contributions and pride in his achievements, stating, “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.”

Akpabio highlighted Nigeria’s unmatched population of over 240 million people and urged Davido to remain a great ambassador for the 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,” he added.

In response, Davido outlined the purpose of his visit and shared details about his philanthropic efforts and upcoming projects. “As for me, I’m doing my part to assist society. I have a foundation where I share N300 to N400 million to 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 accompanied by his cousins Tunji Adeleke, son of his late uncle Senator Isiaka Adeleke, and Folasade Adeleke, daughter of the Osun State Governor.
