President Muhammadu Buhari has counselled youths to learn
from music legend, Ebenezer Obey.
He is the General Overseer of the Decross Gospel Mission and
the President of Ebenezer Obey Evangelistic Ministries.
Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina relayed Buhari’s message
on the occasion of Obey’s 80th birthday.
The leader hailed the celebrant for using his art to fly
Nigeria’s flag around the world, “bringing joy to people with his sonorous
voice and didactic songs, for over six decades”.
Buhari said Obey’s music has been a blessing to many,
garnering tremendous recognition and adulation nationally and internationally.
He highlighted Obey’s countless gold discs and many platinum
discs, leading to being honoured with the Member of the Federal Republic (MFR)
in 2001.
“The President urges the younger generation to borrow a leaf
from the musician, who was formally ordained into the ministry on his 50th
birthday on the 3rd of April, 1992”, the statement added.
Buhari wished the celebrant longer life, good health, and
further service to God and humanity.
