He says, “Hi, Daddy Showkey. I can’t believe you’re 50 years old.
“Na only small I take senior you o, only few months.”
The minister further reveals that he bagged a chieftaincy title from a community in Delta State at the same time as the veteran musician.
“Daddy Showkey came at the time that the Nigerian music scene needed a breath of fresh air from the traditional reggae sound that was imported into the country at that time.
“Daddy Showkey provided that and it sent everybody wild at that time.
“He came with the Nigerian sound, rhythm and dance.”
Keyamo recalls how the galala dance popularised by the musician became popular among both the young and old in the ’90s.
“I enjoyed it thoroughly,” the minister adds.
