Patoranking was with the President of the red chamber today in person of Bukola Saraki.
The Senate President who is a great fan of the entertainment industry has a knack for being recognized with various artists in the industry both foreign and indigenous artist. Most notable was when Jay-Z visited him in the state house in Ilorin when he was still the Governor of Kwara State.
The images of him shaking hands with the reggae act was contained on his Facebook page with the statement below:
"Today, I had the pleasure of interacting with Patrick Okorie aka Patoranking.
I must say, we are proud of what Nigerians are doing in the entertainment, music and the film industry. Over the last few years, our performers have worked hard to put Nigeria out there as a force to be reckoned with in entertainment.
Just the other day, I was saying to my own kids that in our time, all we listened to was foreign music. Now, they don't even listen to foreign music anymore, they listen more to local music.
This development might seem small to some, but it is a great transformation and we must commend the new generation of Nigerians in the entertainment industry for the fantastic work that they are doing to change the perception of our country".
