• 2face

Although the 2015 general elections are over, the ‘One Voice Peace Concert’ spearheaded by award-winning singer, 2Face Idibia appears to have more to offer.

At the Classique Event Center recently, fans were wowed with a collection of hit songs from the artiste’s repertoire, even as 2Face and his team seized the opportunity to sensitise all on the need for post-election involvement in the activities of the nation and its government.

Speaking exclusively to The Nation, 2Face shed light on the essence of the concert. “We are here to talk to Nigerian youths about peaceful co-existence and also for them to be monitoring governance,” he said.

According to him, “Over the years, the future of Nigeria has been squandered. But all hope is not lost, we can still rebuild Nigeria. Our generation has really lost a lot. We really want to influence the youths positively.”

The singer further stated how the concert integrates peaceful co-existence among youths and the general public. “Music is a powerful tool, and it is one of the channels we are using to influence and sensitise the publics,” 2Face adds.

Acknowledging what the concert stands for, the event planner, Helen Abutu said: “One Voice Peace Concert is a continuation or the second phase of the Vote Not Fight Campaign.”

Hosted in collaboration with 2Face’s Foundation and other non-governmental organizations, the show also featured performances by artistes such as Reminisce, Olu Maintain, Ice Prince, Sound Sultan, Phyno, Efa, Niyola, YunggreyC, Suspect, DJ Neptune, Joe El, Vector, Uzi, Yemi Alade, Timi Dakolo, Harrysong, Illbliss, Sexy Steel, Naeto C and several others.
