Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, hosted global Afrobeats star Davido at the Government House in Yola as part of the singer’s 5ive Alive Tour, highlighting the state’s growing prominence and improved security.
In a statement posted on X by his media office, Fintiri said Davido’s visit reflects his administration’s progress in strengthening security and promoting urban development across the state.
“It was a pleasure to welcome the global star, Davido, to the Government House, Yola. We are particularly glad he chose Adamawa as a key stop on his five-state tour. His presence here underscores our progress and is a testament to our administration’s efforts toward enhancing security and advancing our urban renewal drive. We are honoured by his visit,” Fintiri stated.
Hours later, Davido headlined a sold-out concert at the 25,000-capacity Mahmud Ribadu Square, delivering what organisers called one of the tour’s most high-energy performances.
The event drew a surprise appearance from local influencer and former Big Brother Naija housemate Sultana Farida Auduson Ibrahim, who joined the crowd in celebrating the Grammy-nominated artist.
The Yola stop marks a significant milestone in Davido’s five-state tour and highlights Adamawa’s growing appeal as a destination for major entertainment events.
