Superstar musician Davido revealed that he spends about N400 million annually on outreach programs for orphanage homes.
He shared this information during a courtesy visit to Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Monday, May 20, at the National Assembly in Abuja.
Davido was accompanied by his cousins, Tunji Adeleke and Folasade Adeleke, the daughter of Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
Davido said; “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”.
Additionally, Senate President Godswill Akpabio pledged his support for the entertainment industry and urged Davido to stay focused on his music career, advising him not to let anyone drag him into politics.
He said; “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.
“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”.
