Describing him as a legend, Davido added that, the gesture went a long way to cement the fact that Ghanaians loved him wholeheartedly.
” J.J. Rawlings is a legend. My crazy experience with him was in 2014 when I saw him get out of his car to buy from the shop at the fuel station with no security detail.
I was shocked but it made me realise how Ghanaians loved him and how he also loved and trusted his people to the extent that he walked freely in town and he felt safe knowing he is loved ” Davido said ON 3fm
