He said this would give the president and Nigeria positive publicity and also help the artistes to grow.
He wrote: "Dear President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerian artists are doing Nigeria proud. A New Year idea. The next time you are going to the UK or US or any major Western nation, take a couple of them, like Tuface Idibia, Wizkid and Davido, to mention a few, with you and introduce them as cultural ambassadors to the leaders of those nations. It will give you and Nigeria positive publicity and help those artists further break into the world market."
