Meanwhile, speaking at the ceremony, an emotional Wizkid said, “I know everyone in my family shares this pain with me, and I know God in his infinite mercy is going to…it is impossible for the pain to go away, so I’m not going to say make the pain go away but to comfort us to be able to get on with the rest of life.
