Afrobeat artist, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy on Saturday paid courtesy visit to Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike over winning of the prestigious grammy award.
Burna Boy, his parents and management team paid the governor a courtesy visit at the Government House, Port Harcourt.
The Governor said the state was proud of Burna Boy for the rare distinction of becoming a winner of the prestigious Grammy award.
His Words: “There is no Rivers person that will say he or she is not happy with the kind of pride you’ve brought us. I am very happy and I can tell you, whatever you think we can do to promote you, we will continue to do it.”
Wike congratulated Burna Boy for the honour he did to the people of the state all over the world explaining that when news broke that Burna Boy was the winner in the Best Global Music Album category with his Twice As Tall album, the entire state was elated.
“You’ve done us proud and we owe you a duty to show you love.
Wherever you are, your people appreciate you.” Gov. Woke added.
The Governor urged Burna Boy not to relent in his musical endeavour promising that the state government would continue to give him all the necessary support.
Burna Boy said he was deeply grateful and incredibly humbled to the reception and honour to be conferred on him by the Government of Rivers State.
He said: “I really appreciate being here. This is probably the biggest honour that will be bestowed on me since I was born. It is one thing to win the Grammy and to be applauded everywhere else in the world and another thing to be loved in your own home and that to me is worth more than anything I can get. So I appreciate you my Governor for taking your time out to do this.”
