“We are better off than many years ago. Just look at it. It’s still ongoing, but I will continue doing it. I will set up my own position and try to make a difference. I’ll try to make it work because I know where I stand. I have personally appointed myself as an ambassador of Nigeria an ambassador everywhere, I am a self-appointed ambassador of Nigeria to everywhere,” he stated.

The artist’s statement did not sit well with many users as some called him out for making wrong claims amid the ongoing issues of insecurity and economic struggle in the country.
