The Ooni of Ife,  oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi has endorsed a charity concert tagged: “Getup Charity Concert” an event that will give underprivileged, especially orphans the opportunity to showcase their talents.

Ooni made this known while receiving the organisers of the event billed to hold on November 12, at Hope Auditorium, Ile-Ife, Osun State, led by the project director, Eluwole Elusiyan in his palace, just as he acknowledged the initiative of the concert, which he described as a platform to encourage the hopeless and to express love.

While presenting the project to the monarch, Elusiyan said “the Getup Charity Concert initiative was birthed three years ago during an event at Stephen Orphanage where he was invited to minister and having nursing a dream to reach out to orphans for a long time, he caught the vision of Getup Charity during this event.

“I saw a platform where children from different orphanage homes can be gathered together to be celebrated and appreciated. This was what turned out to be Getup Charity Concert, named after my musical band, Getup Crew,” he added.

He added that the annual concert will impact the lives of the underprivileged positively as it will feature various talents displays such as presentation of songs, dance, drama, poems and other creative works.
