Moment Davido, Cubana Chief Priest storm Aso Rock to meet Tinubu (Video)

Nigerian music superstar, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, alongside Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong, socialite Cubana Chief Priest, and entertainment executive Ubi Franklin, paid a courtesy visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The high-profile meeting, which took place on Monday, drew attention on social media as photos and videos of the moment began circulating, showing the music icon and his entourage warmly received by the President.

Davido, dressed in his signature flamboyant style, was seen exchanging pleasantries with President Tinubu in a light-hearted atmosphere. The meeting, though largely informal, underscored the growing ties between the Nigerian entertainment industry and political leadership.

While the details of the discussions remain private, sources close to the delegation hinted that the visit centred on recognising the role of the creative industry in national development and exploring possible areas of collaboration between the entertainment sector and the federal government.

Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong, representing Cross River South, who accompanied the group, is known for his strong advocacy for youth empowerment and innovation. His presence, observers say, may also point toward broader policy conversations involving the creative economy.

Cubana Chief Priest, a nightlife entrepreneur and cultural influencer, and Ubi Franklin, a talent manager and political aide, added further colour to the visit, which many have described as a fusion of music, politics, and business interests.

Davido, who recently concluded his “Timeless Tour,” has remained one of Nigeria’s most influential cultural exports, often using his platform to speak on social and political issues.

President Tinubu, who has consistently called for private sector collaboration in driving youth-oriented initiatives, reportedly commended the group for their contributions to Nigeria’s image globally and assured them of his administration’s commitment to creating an enabling environment for entertainment and youth-led enterprises to thrive.

The visit was rounded off with group photographs and casual conversations, highlighting a rare blend of celebrity culture and presidential diplomacy.
