November 22, (THEWILL) – Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Former Senate President Bukola Saraki have heaped praises on Davido for donating N250 million to orphanages in the country.
Earlier in the week, the singer had raised funds to clear his Rolls Royce at the ports.
However, after raking in N200 million, the singer donated N50 million and announced that the funds would be used to support orphans.
This act has continued to spark reactions as many Nigerians commended the action of the singer.
Joining the fray in an Instagram post, Atiku hailed the ‘Dami Duro’ singer for his mantra of lifting others in need.
He also celebrated the singer’s career and wished him a blissful birthday.
“Dear @davido, thank you for making the lifting of others a cornerstone of your endeavour. I join your family and friends and millions of your fans in wishing you a memorable birthday. I wish you more years in good health, more award-winning music and, above all, lifting others,” he wrote.
Also, Saraki praised the crooner for his action.
“This past week on @Instagram, we all watched @Davido ‘playfully’ raise N200 million from his friends, business associates, and other well-wishers — then donate N250 million to orphans across the country,” he wrote in a Twitter thread.
“Since he was a young boy, @Davido has always had a persuasive charm, a great deal of talent and energy, and the ability to accomplish what others describe as ‘impossible’ — through his sheer grit and hard work.
“As he celebrates his birthday today, I congratulate @Davido for becoming a fine young man who continues to positively impact lives through his music and philanthropy. May almighty God continue to reward your efforts.”
