Nigerian music sensation, the illustrious Davido, has unveiled a fascinating tale of how he played a pivotal role in connecting his influential billionaire father, Chief Adedeji Adeleke, with none other than the President of the World Bank.
In an enthralling interview with Real 92.3 FM in Atlanta, the OBO crooner revealed the extraordinary chain of events that unfolded. Despite his father’s extensive network of connections, he had been unable to establish contact with the elusive World Bank President—until Davido stepped in.
With a twinkle in his eye, Davido shared the remarkable encounter: “Let me share something truly beautiful with you. You see, my dad, he’s been trying tirelessly… He knows so many people in high positions, but he couldn’t manage to reach the President of the World Bank. It became a quest for him.”
But then, a moment of destiny occurred that would forever shape Davido’s life. “One day, as fate would have it, the World Bank President crossed paths with me in a hotel. He recognized me and said, ‘Davido, I thoroughly enjoyed your performance. By the way, I am the President of the World Bank.'”
The young musician’s eyes widened with excitement as he continued, “Without hesitation, I swiftly reached for my phone and exclaimed, ‘Hold on a moment!’ I dialed my father’s number and exclaimed, ‘Hello, Daddy, I have the President of the World Bank right here with me.’ And you know what? My father said, ‘Oh! Pass him the phone.’ And just like that, I made the connection.”
The remarkable story of Davido’s impromptu encounter and his swift ability to bridge the gap between his father and the influential figure has left audiences captivated. It serves as a testament to the power of unexpected encounters and the profound impact that a single individual can have in forging connections that transcend boundaries.
