D'banj was the first to publicly sign the petition. In April, he led 19 of Africa's top artists to record the hit song "Cocoa Na Chocolate" to promote the petition and help rebrand Agriculture among Africa's youth
The campaign has been a success as over 2 million Africans from different countries in Africa signed the petition.
