Davido, Cubana Chief Priest, and Others Visit President Tinubu at Aso Rock
Nigerian music superstar Davido, alongside prominent socialite Cubana Chief Priest and entertainment executive Ubi Franklin, paid a courtesy visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. They were joined by Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong.
The high-profile meeting, which took place at the President’s office, was captured in a series of photos and videos that quickly went viral on social media. The visuals showed the entertainers and the President sharing light-hearted moments and pleasantries, suggesting a cordial and informal atmosphere.
The visit has since generated mixed reactions from the public, with many questioning the nature and purpose of the gathering. While some hailed the interaction as a sign of unity between political leadership and the creative industry, others voiced concerns about potential political implications.
Popular social commentator and activist Verydarkman weighed in, emphasizing that while entertainers have the freedom to associate with any political figure, it becomes problematic if they begin to use their platforms to influence political choices. He noted that celebrities hold significant sway and must be cautious not to blur the lines between entertainment and political endorsement.
The meeting highlights the increasing intersection between Nigeria’s entertainment scene and political leadership, reflecting the broader influence celebrities now wield in national discourse.
As of now, neither the Presidency nor the visitors have officially disclosed the details or agenda of the meeting.
