What Wizkid told me – Saraki
conversation he had with superstar Nigerian musician, Wizkid.
He made the revelation in his keynote address at the Georgetown
University African Business Conference in Washington DC, United States
on Saturday.
Saraki said that the artiste, who is widely regarded as Nigeria's
biggest music export, told him how he (Wizkid) sold out 40,000 tickets
for a concert in Gabon, a Francophone country.
The former Kwara state governor said "Wizkid told me that he was
astonished that Gabonese fans could fill the venue of his concert
despite not understanding a word of his lyrics.
"Our Entertainment industry, which has grown tremendously over the
last 20 years – provides us with value addition and a comparative
advantage – as our artists have risen from local champions to global
recognition."
