Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has joined Rema’s fans and colleagues in wishing him a swift recovery.
Rema, the popular singer behind the hit song ‘Calm Down’, had previously announced that he would not be performing in December due to health issues, canceling his scheduled tours in Lagos, Abuja, and Benin.
Governor Obaseki expressed his support for Rema on his X (formerly known as Twitter) handle, stating that the people of Edo State are proud of him and stand by him throughout his journey.
The Governor highlighted Rema’s remarkable achievements, such as selling out London’s O2 Arena and accumulating 1.6 billion streams on Spotify this year.
He emphasized that these accomplishments not only showcase Rema’s exceptional talent but also inspire young creators in the industry.
