Your win exhilarates me - Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan heap praise on Wizkid over his MOBO Best International Act Awards (Details, pics)

We had earlier reported that popular Nigerian musician,  Wizkid had won the award for Best International Act at the recently organised MOBO Awards, the first African act to do so.

Since his win, many people have taken to social media to congratulate him. Surprisingly, former president Goodluck Jonathan did the same.

He took to his Facebook page to congratulate Wizkid saying his win has raised Nigeria’s flag high for the positive, and not the negative.

See his post below:

“When Nigeria does well, I cannot help but feel well. My happiness is tied to the happiness of Nigeria and when Nigerians break records and take the name of Nigeria to greater heights it exhilarates me. Thank you Wizkid for raising Nigeria’s flag high for the positive, not the negative. Your emergence as the Best International Act at the #MOBOAwards is a proud moment for Nigeria. And the fact that you emerged over JAY-Z and Drake makes it even more celebratory. WELL DONE. GEJ.”

Congrats to the Starboy!
