Omo Baba Olowo misic sensation Davido  has explained reasons why he cancelled his performance at a major concert in UK involving Dbanj.In a statement he released in Lagos, the fast rising musician explained that he had to call it off when the British High Commission in Lagos was not forthcoming with a work permit three days to the event.

In His Words

“I regret to let you know that I will not be performing along side my most respected big brother and friend D’BANJ at the scheduled show of August 27, 2012 in London,” the statement read.

“I am both a Nigerian citizen, as well as an American citizen, I carry both the Nigerian and the American passports. As an American citizen, I do not require a visa to enter the United Kingdom, however I require a work permit in the UK for any paid performance such as the scheduled August 27, 2012 in London, that is the law in the United Kingdom.

“I applied for a work permit at the British Embassy in Abuja/Lagos but unfortunately up till the close of business onFriday August 24, 2012 I was unable to obtain a work permit, as a result I have to cancel my performance and my trip to the United Kingdom altogether.

“I apologize for the inconvenience and the disappointment, but be rest assured that I will make it up to you all on a future date. You will agree with me that it is better to be law abiding at all times and in every jurisdiction.
