October 6 Declared ‘Wizkid Day’ by United States Governor Mark Dayton

Governor of Minnesota in the United States of America has declared October 6 of every year as ‘Wizkid Day as part of a conscious effort to honor and celebrate the lifetime musical achievements of popular Nigerian pop music star, Ibrahim Ayodeji Balogun, aka Wizkid.
