The Osile Oke-Ona of Egbaland in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso, has unveiled his plan to hold a 35-hour marathon praise and prayer session to celebrate his 35th coronation anniversary.

The 86-year-old monarch disclosed this on Saturday at a press conference organised to unveil activities lined up to mark his 35th coronation anniversary.

Oba Tejuoso said the marathon praise which would start from Friday, May 17 will be attended by other traditional rulers and chiefs from the state.

The monarch explained that the marathon praise would serve as avenue for him, family members and well wishes to praise God for preserving his life despite a prophesy that he would not live more than two years on the throne.

Oba Tejuoso also disclosed that a movie on his true life story will also be premiered during the marathon praise and prayer session.

Other activities lined up to mark the coronation anniversary include: a three-day crusade presentation of new Chiefs, special Jumat service to be held at the Oke-Ana Egba central Mosque, thanksgiving service at St Jameson Cathedral Idi Ape and the beating of gbedu drums, award presentation, chieftaincy installation, among others.

“We request that you come to the marathon praise, we are also going to show a movie, a true life story of Oba Adedapo Tejuoso, Karunwi III and the premiere will come out on August 5th which is going to have all questions to be answered in the movie.

“It is a thriller on the history of Oba Adedapo Tejuoso we hope to have everyone on the occasion, and all the answers are there, while you can also join in singing gospels together.

“The Bible says in the presence of God there is fullness of joy. If you have Jesus Christ in your life, it will always radiate in your life, people will see you and say ooh an old man being a young man thank God that is what I’m enjoying today.

“That is why I am trying my best to spread it to each and everyone to accept Jesus Christ into our lives.

“It is to accept Jesus Christ in your lives so as to have eternal life. There is no body else we should worship in this world except God.

“God created us to worship him and we if you worship him there will be no problem for you”, the monarch said. (New Telegraph)
