Why Davido is free to perform at Pastor Tobi’s birthday – Yemi Solade
Actor Yemi Solade has okayed the performance of Nigerian singer, Davido, at the birthday celebration of London-based Pastor, Tobi Adegboyega.
Recall that a lot of netizens, including the Delta State governor’s senior special assistant on media Ossai Success has criticised the pastor for inviting Davido to perform at his function.
Describing the act as an embarrassment to the gospel, the politician, on Monday said the preacher could have invited a gospel artist to minister instead of Davido.
“I’m disappointed in Pastor Tobi for inviting Davido to his birthday party. This is an embarrassment to the gospel; he should ask God for forgiveness,” Ossai wrote.
Reacting to the criticism in a comment on a blog that reposted Ossai’s statement, Yemi Solade posed a question to Ossai, “Is David Adeleke not a Child of God and a Fellow Christian?”
Adegboyega’s birthday party on Sunday drew widespread attention, with celebrities such as Davido, Obi Cubana, Zlatan Ibile, KCee and Nkechi Blessing in attendance.
The celebration has sparked a debate among Nigerians questioning the appropriateness of secular musicians performing at a pastor’s event.
