Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido recently held a
high-level meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
The 32-year-old award-winning singer, whose real name is
David Adeleke, shared images of the encounter on his social media platforms on
Thursday evening.
The photos, taken at the iconic Élysée Palace, depicted
Davido posing with Macron, with other pictures capturing an animated
conversation between the two.
The meeting also included key figures from Davido’s team,
including his manager Asa Asika and celebrity bartender Cubana Chief Priest,
who were pictured standing alongside the French leader.
Reflecting on the discussion, Davido stated that the pair
exchanged ideas for global progress.
“It was an honour meeting @EmmanuelMacron and sharing our
visions for a better world,” he wrote.
Davido’s visit to Macron comes days after the Osun state
government appointed him as chairman of the Osun Sports Trust Fund.
The initiative aims to raise funds to transform the state’s
sports sector and ensure sustainable financing for athletic development.
Kola Adewusi, the state’s deputy governor and commissioner
for sports, said the decision was part of Governor Ademola Adeleke’s plan to
upgrade the Osogbo Township Stadium to Olympic standards.
He said the renovation and rehabilitation of the project
will soon be completed.
Adewumi said Davido’s global reputation will help attract
private-sector investments and sponsorships into the state’s sports ecosystem.
