Senator Otunba Gbenga Daniel, a prominent figure in Nigerian politics and current representative of Ogun East in the Senate, has said that the highly anticipated Asiwaju of Remo Christians Choir Festival 3.0 is a platform for the celebration of gospel music and societal rejuvenation.

The event is slated to take place on Sunday, June 16, 2024, at the International Ecumenical Worship Centre in Sagamu, Ogun State.

In an interview on TVCNews, the lawmaker shed light on the inspiration behind organising such a significant event.

Reflecting on his personal background, he revealed his deep-rooted connection to music, tracing back to his days as a school organist and a son of a clergyman.

“Don’t forget I was a son of a clergyman, I sang back at secondary school, I was the school organist, so singing is part of me.”

He lamented the erosion of traditional values in contemporary society and emphasised the pivotal role of religion in instilling moral principles.

“More than anything else, some of us have found out that the value system has collapsed. And whether we like to believe it or not, religions have a lot to do in terms of how to re-orientate ourselves.

“So I’m thinking on one side which is where I belong. For instance, going to churches for me is better than going to discothèques. So, how can we encourage young people to go to church?”

Recognising the changing preferences of younger generations, Senator Daniel highlighted the potential of gospel music as a tool for engagement and outreach.

He expressed confidence in the ability of uplifting music to captivate audiences and convey timeless messages of love, compassion, and social responsibility.

“These days, they get bored with preaching, but when you can get them to go and listen to good music, gospel music, you’ll be shocked at the number of people you’re going to convert.

“So for me, it (gospel music concert) is part of my efforts to re-orientate our people and create a better value system for our society,” the lawmaker stated.
