APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe has called out Nigerian music star Davido for his recent remarks about the state of Nigeria’s economy. Speaking on an American podcast, Davido warned Americans against relocating to Africa, specifically Nigeria, citing the country’s economic challenges as a deterrent.
Igbokwe, reacting via his Facebook page, expressed disappointment in the singer’s comments, accusing him of tarnishing Nigeria’s image. He demanded that Davido retract the statement, emphasizing that Nigeria played a significant role in the singer’s rise to global stardom.
“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. I will advise him to retract the statement ASAP. Nigeria made Davido. QED!!!” Igbokwe wrote.
Davido’s comments and Igbokwe’s reaction have sparked a heated debate on social media, with opinions divided. While some support Davido’s assessment of the economic situation, others agree with Igbokwe, arguing that public figures should avoid making negative statements about the country on international platforms.
The controversy underscores the broader discussion around Nigeria’s economic state and the responsibility of influential figures in shaping the nation’s global reputation.
