Nigeria’s star singer and rapper, Olamide was a star performer at the luncheon organised in Abeokuta on Tuesday 2 February to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Ogun state.

The event, which was hosted by Governor Ibikunle Amosun was attended by President Muhammadu Buhari and two former Nigerian leaders, Olusegun Obasanjo and Ernest Shonekan.

For Olamide, also an indigene of the state, performing was just not enough. He also got a presidential handshake in tow.

Note the special ‘Amosun Cap’ on President Buhari’s head.
