Lagos Governor Commends Nigerian Grammy Nominees Despite Loss

The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has expressed admiration for the Nigerian nominees at the 66th Grammy Awards, despite their unsuccessful bids for victory.
None of the Nigerian artists secured wins in their respective categories. South African singer, Tyla, emerged triumphant in the Best African Music Performance category, defeating prominent Nigerian artists such as Davido, Asake, Burna Boy, and Ayra Starr.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, in response to the outcome, encouraged the Nigerian nominees not to be disheartened by the results.
In an official statement on Monday, Sanwo-Olu conveyed his message to the nominees: “A special shoutout to @davido, @burnaboy, @ayrastarr, @asakemusik, @Olamide, and @temsbaby, and all Nigerian talents represented as nominees at the Grammy’s, the apex music award in the world.”
He continued, “Your mastery reached unparalleled heights on those exclusive platforms, showcasing world-class talent that we are immensely proud of. To those who may feel disheartened by the results, remember, in the eyes of your fans and Nigerians, you are everlasting winners.”
Governor Sanwo-Olu amplified his support: “With every global arena and stadium you fill up, your representation of Afrobeats and Nigeria is unparalleled, and soon you will light up the stages you desire as triumphant victors. Cheers to more timeless moments as you continue to tell the world our stories with your music.”
