Veteran Afro-Pop musician, John Odafe Asiemo, popularly known in the entertainment world as Daddy Showkey, has declared that he was able to walk again through the benevolence of the Minister of Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
He traced his ability to walk again after he was involved in a ghastly motor accident to the goodwill and assistance of the former governor of Akwa Ibom State.
Speaking in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Pidgin, the Delta State-born musician, whose brand of music, Afro-Pop, made waves in the late 90s, narrated how he was made to walk again through the benevolence of the former Minority Leader of the Senate.
