Socialites To Hold Ijebu Praise Concert
Come December 1st, 2017, socialites will storm Ijebu for the first ever Ijebu Praise Concert.
The concert, which is being powered by Hon. Kehinde Odeneye (OK), will have popular Christian gospel artistes and their Muslim counterparts thrill fans in the first ever show of its kind in the country with the likes of Lanre Teriba Arise, Timi Orokoya Telemi, Ere Asalatu, Ajoke Omolope, Bola Obi, and other fast rising gospel artistes.
Speaking on the forthcoming event that is already the talk of town in Ijebu and its environs, Hon Odeneye, member representing Ijebu central Federal Constituency, said they the event is not a political or religious gathering. “We supposed to have a day to praise God, that is why we chose that day, which is the 1st day of the last month of the year.
It is a day we want to use to praise God, irrespective of religion or tribe. It is not for Ijebu or Ogun state alone, but for the whole federation. I observed that we don’t always praise God enough in this country, we want to use that day to praise God. It is not for Ijebu alone. It is purely a day of Thanksgiving, to praise God for the glory for His mercies over us. I believe if we praise God well in this country, we will have the fear of God in our hearts.
Also speaking about the event, Mr. Pius Omadime, the personal Assistant to Hon. Odeneye stated that the event will not be one that will be done once and be forgotten. “We are looking at an annual event for very lengthy years to come, not just for this year”.
Another member of the organizing committee, Mrs. Feyi, also stated that Ijebu will not be itself again after ‘Ijebu Praise Concert (IPC)’, “It is not a matter of may be it will be a success. It will be, by God’s grace, because all hands are on deck. We have very experienced people on the team to help ensure that the event will be the talk of town, and even afterwards”.
