Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has described Grammy
award-winning Afrobeat singer, Burna Boy as the pride of the state.

she is not happy with the kind of pride you have brought to 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.”
Wike noted that when news broke that Burna Boy was the
winner in the Best Global Music Album category with his Twice As Tall album,
the entire state was elated and he was happy.
“Do not relent in your musical endeavour as we will continue
to give you all the necessary support required.
“You’ve done us proud and we owe you a duty to show you,
love. Wherever you are, your people appreciate you,” Wike added.
