Rivers State Is Proud Of Burna Boy For His Grammy Achievement – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has come out to hail Grammy Award-winning Afrobeat star, Burna Boy.

The governor recently had his say via a statement by his Special Assistant to the governor on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Burna is a source of pride for his state, and everyone is proud of him for his recent Grammy achievement at the global stage.

He added that Burna Boy can be rest assured that Rivers State will keep doing everything within its power to promote him and his music.

His words, “There is no Rivers person that will say he or she is not happy with the kind of pride you’ve brought us. I am very happy and I can tell you, whatever you think we can do to promote you, we will continue to do it.”

“You’ve done us proud and we owe you a duty to show you, love. Wherever you are, your people appreciate you.”

Burna added, “I really appreciate being here. This is probably the biggest honour that will be bestowed on me since I was born. It is one thing to win the Grammy and to be applauded everywhere else in the world and another thing to be loved in your own home and that to me is worth more than anything I can get. So I appreciate you my Governor for taking your time out to do this.”

Congrats to him.
