US State Of Georgia Honours Davido With ‘Outstanding Citizen’ Status

The State of Georgia has honoured Nigerian Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, with the title of ‘Outstanding Georgia Citizen’.

The ‘OBO’ singer was at the State of Georgia General Assembly meeting on Friday, December 1, 2023, to accept the accolade.

He posted a video of the meeting and a copy of his proclamation letter on his X account and wrote, “This morning I attended the U.S. State of Georgia General Assembly meeting with the Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia State Senate to be recognised as an ‘Outstanding Georgia Citizen’… God is good.”

The letter, which declared Davido an “outstanding Georgia citizen,” was signed by Brad Raffensperger, Secretary of State of the State of Georgia.

“May this Outstanding Citizen be granted every privilege as a Goodwill Ambassador from Georgia in his journeys to other states, to countries outside the boundaries of the United States of America, or wherever he may later travel or live. Thank you for your service to our state,” the letter stated in part.

Davido holds the citizenship of the State of Georgia by birth. He was born in Atlanta, the state capital, to Nigerian parents.
