 SANWO-OLU CONGRATULATES TEMS FOR WINNING GRAMMY AWARD


 

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated Nigerian singer, songwriter and record producer, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, for winning the 67th Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance. 


The Governor said the award is a prestigious recognition that highlights Tems’ exceptional talent and contribution to the music industry not only in Nigeria and the African continent but also on the global stage. 


Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a statement issued on Monday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Gboyega Akosile, said the 29-year-old Tems has achieved a milestone with the international recognition at the 67th Grammy Award. 


It would be recalled that Openiyi won the Best African Music Performance Award during the Grammy Award held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, United States, on Sunday. She emerged victorious in a fierce competition, defeating strong contenders with her love song “Love Me Jeje.”


Governor Sanwo-Olu said the award received by Tems is an affirmation of Lagos as truly the home of entertainment, creativity, tourism, culture and arts.


He said: "Temilade Openiyi once again has proved to the world that she is a creative of an uncommon talent. We thank her for bringing the Best African Music Performance Grammy back to Nigeria. As a Lagosian, we are excited with her success.


"Tems winning the 67th Grammy Award for Best African Music Performance is a confirmation that our dear Lagos State remains the hub of entertainment, creativity and tourism in the West African sub-region. 


“On behalf of my family, the government, and the people of Lagos State, I congratulate Tems for achieving this great feat, and I urge her not to rest on her oars as the future remains a lot brighter than it is today.
