In a moment that blended politics and pop culture, Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate, took to social media to congratulate Nigerian singer Tems on her Grammy win.
The former presidential candidate praised her talent and global influence, saying, “Tems’ victory is not just for her, but for every young Nigerian proving that greatness has no limits.”
Tems clinched the award for Best African Music Performance category, with her hit song, ‘Love Me Jeje’, igniting conversations about Nigerian excellence on the global stage.
The music star, known for her soulful voice and effortless cool, has consistently broken barriers, earning recognition from international icons.
An excited fan quipped, “Tems has collected more Grammys than some people have collected votes!”—a cheeky nod to Nigeria’s recent political drama.
As congratulations poured in, the internet had a field day imagining Obi vibing to Tems’ songs while drafting policy plans. Some even suggested that he should curate a “Renewed Hope” playlist featuring Nigeria’s finest artists.
