King Sunny Ade Appointed 'Change Begins With Me' Ambassador
Speaking in Abuja on Monday when he received the music maestro on a courtesy visit to his office, the Minister described King Sunny Ade as an icon and a trail blazer, who has reigned in the music industry for over 50 years without blemish.
Announcing the appointment, he said "we are looking for people like you
(King Sunny Ade) that the younger ones can look up to. It's not just
that you have been around for fifty years but you have been around for
fifty years without any single stain on your part and that is very hard.
"Most people like you would have had one issue or the other that today their integrity would be at stake. Your integrity is as strong if not stronger than when you started. So it would be a pleasure if you can accept to be our Ambassador of the "Change Begins With Me".
"I want the younger ones to look at you and see that you can actually get to the top without cutting corners. That is exactly what you have done. You have never cut corners and you have gotten to the top. "
Alhaji Mohammed said after performing music for fifty years, the energy, dexterity and the passion exuded by King Sunny Ade have remained amazing and a source of inspiration for the younger artists.
