Popular Nigerian gospel singer, Yinka Ayefele, has denied converting to Islam as being speculated in some quarters.
Earlier on Wednesday, June 29, 2016, there was a rumour that Ayefele, who is the owner of Fresh 105.9 FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, had dumped Christianity for Islam.
This, according to his Publicist, David Ajiboye, in a statement, resulted in people, both home and abroad, making calls to find out the veracity of the claim.
Ajiboye stressed that Ayefele is still a Christian and has no reason whatsoever to renounce his faith and believe.
“We believe the rumour must have emanated from the annual Ramadan Lecture, which Fresh 105.9FM owned by Ayefele organised on Tuesday, in Ibadan.
“Our station, Fresh 105.9FM had invited popular Islamic preacher, Alhaji Muideen Ajani Bello as the guest preacher at our annual Ramadan Lecture, which had over 4,000 people in attendance and because of this, some naïve minds went to town to spread the rumour about Ayefele’s conversion,” Ajiboye stated.
He said further that the station is for everybody irrespective of your religion, race or colour, also pointing out that, “We believe it’s part of our social responsibility to organise such a spiritual rebirth programme to sensitise our Muslim listeners on the ideals of Islam most especially in this holy season.”
