“Nigeria Made Davido” – Joe Igbokwe Responds to Davido’s Comment on Nigeria’s Economy
Joe Igbokwe, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has strongly criticized Nigerian singer Davido for his recent remarks about Nigeria’s economy.
During an appearance on an American podcast, Davido warned U.S. citizens against moving to Nigeria, claiming that the country’s economy was in “shambles” and not a suitable destination for relocation.
Igbokwe, who is known for his outspoken views on national issues, expressed his disappointment with Davido’s comments, which he believes are damaging to the country’s reputation.
In a post on his Facebook page, Igbokwe, who considers Davido his in-law, stated that the singer’s success was largely built on the opportunities Nigeria provided him.
He urged Davido to retract his statement, emphasizing that the country had played a significant role in shaping his career and making him the star he is today.
“My in-law Davido has made me sad by telling the world in America that Nigeria’s economy is in shambles.
This is very sad,” Igbokwe wrote. “I will advise him to retract the statement ASAP. Nigeria made Davido. QED!!!”
