For Otunba Gani Adams, the National Coordinator of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) and Global Convener, Oodua Progressive Union (OPU), and his amiable wife Erelu Mojisola Adams, it was a time to be joyous and show gratitude to God following the birth of their second child.
Monarchs from far and near including the Zaki of Arigidi-Akoko among others, celebrities, family and friends all converged at the upscale events center, Yard 158 in Oregun, Ikeja to felicitate with the Adams family.
Josephine “Joe” Obiajulu Okei, the president of the rights groups Women Arise for Change Initiative and the Campaign for Democracy also attended the star-studded event not forgetting media moguls and journalists from all walks of life.
Kolade Onanuga popularly called Kwam 2 was on hand to treat the guests to his popular tunes. The King Ayinde Wasiu’s protégé left no stones unturned as he kept the guests spellbound with his music vibes which got people dancing.
Speaking at the elaborate ceremony, Otunba Gani Adams couldn’t express his gratitude enough; he said “I want to thank all of you here for choosing to honour us with your presence. Looking at the number of dignitaries here now, having to name one them one by one would amount in me offending others but I am very happy you all came out on such short notice for this event. It took us five years to have our first child and another five to have this second. People face tribulations in life which is quite normal but we are thankful, my wife and I are indeed happy and grateful to God for this bundle of joy.
The baby girl was christened in the morning at the Omole phase 2 residence of the Oodua Progressive Union global convener. Otunba Gani Adams was dressed in his signature white attire, while his wife matched him in the same colour.
