In light of the current state of affairs in Nigeria, esteemed actor, Jide Kosoko, has made the decision to defer the planned celebration dedicated to recognizing his steadfast contributions to the movie industry.
On his Instagram page, Kosoko expressed gratitude towards his colleagues for initiating the idea of honoring him for his ongoing commitment to advancing the movie industry. The celebration coincides with his 70th birthday.
He conveyed that after discussions with his colleagues, they unanimously agreed to put the celebration on hold, citing the dire circumstances facing the nation and its citizens as the primary reason.
Kosoko wrote, “I want to use this opportunity to offer my sincere appreciation to my colleagues who came up with the idea of celebrating me for my contributions to industry growth and development in our industry while I am still alive and kicking. This also falls within the year of my 70th birthday.
“It is my sincere prayer that they will all remain relevant in all areas of human endeavors they find themselves in.
“I have discussed with them, and they reasoned, that the celebration should be put on hold, basically because of the current situation in the country and what the people are going through.
“I am very sure that very soon, the challenges facing the country will be over and we will all be happy for it. I am putting it on hold because of the masses, of which I am part of. Thank you all for your understanding!”
