Top Islamic female musician, Rukayat
Gawat Oyefeso last weekend fete 120 widows with a bag of rice and
other gift items in remembrance of her missing father.
The event, which was part of her annual
event, tagged “IMOLE DAY”, also featured the launching of her new
music flick OGBE OKAN, part 3.
She said, though her father has not been
found but that the family remains optimistic that he will soon show
up in the house. She appealed to well-meaning Nigerians and the
Islamic community in general not to relent in their fervent prayers
towards the discovery of the where about of her father.
On the choice of widows, she said, she
sees them as a sect in the society that requires attention and
assistance. “I also believe Allah answers their prayers rapidly and
I want them to also join me in prayers on my father. We wake up
daily, hoping to see him return to the house and since we have
exhausted all we could humanly do, we are relying solely on God to
miraculously help us out. Apart from the widows, I also gave out
gifts items to so many of my fans who have been part of my progress
in music.”
Packaged by Okiki Films, the event,
described as the best to have been organized by any Islamic artists
in the country, was graced by all the notable Islamic artists, among
who are: Wasiu Kayode As-sideeq, Baba N Waka, Ayeloyun, Saoti Arewa,
Ere Asalatu, Omotayebi, Iya N Kaola, Gbemisoke, Temi Ni Success and

Chief hosts who happened to be the
celebrant’s husband and also the Managing Director and Chief
Executive of Staco Insurance, Alhaji Shakirudeen Oyefeso assured that
the annual event will get bigger next year as a minimum of 250 widows
will benefit from it. He also said Youth empowerment scheme will also
be introduced to get the young and talented ones fully engaged.
Sheikh Muyideen Ajani who gave the
lecture during the programme enjoins all to be fearful of Allah and
always see this life as epheremal and seek more the Kingdom of Allah.
