Godswill Akpabio, the Minister for Niger Delta Affairs, has urged his political colleagues to follow in the footsteps of Nigerian musician, Davido.
In honour of his birthday, Davido recently raised N200 million from friends, family, and business associates.
He added N50 million of his own money after a successful fundraiser, bringing the total to N250 million.
He went on to say that he will form a committee to distribute the monies raised to other orphans. He also promised to ensure that the funds reached their intended recipients and were used wisely.

“I wish him a happy birthday and long life to do more for humanity”
