Kashim Shettima, Nigeria’s Vice President, stated that Kizz Daniel and Tekno’s 2023 hit song, ‘Buga,’ is on pace to become the country’s second national anthem.
Shettima, whose dance video for “Buga” went viral last year, said in an interview with Arise TV that he accepted the task of showcasing Nigerian arts and culture to the rest of the world.
