"Even though your administration is a PDP one but we work across party lines for the interest of Nigeria. The only major thing that is common to all of us is the interest of this country and it is a country that has given you so much love”.
While advising Davido to avoid being dragged into politics, he promised that the lawmakers will do everything possible to support the talent industry.
"Please do your best to continue to maintain the high ethics. What is happening in America with some of the black stars is quite unfortunate. For most of you in the industry, don't allow peer group influence derail you. Continue to do your best.
"The entertainment industry is like a pyramid. You start from the ground until you get there. When you are on top, your own is how to remain there. So anybody who walks on a tight rope must learn how to do the balancing act. And so, your job is to remain there.
"Our prayers is that God should sustain you there and to continue to give you more wisdom and more talent for you to continue to make Nigeria proud. We are very proud of you."
Davido, in company of his cousins, Hon. Tunji Adeleke and Folasade Adeleke, recalled Akpabio’s hospitality to him and while the former was the Governor of Akwa Ibom State and also while he was a Minister.
