Nollywood icon Jide Kosoko has announced the postponement of his 70th birthday celebration in light of the prevailing economic challenges in the country.
Kosoko thanked his coworkers and fans who intended to honour him for his achievements to the entertainment industry while he is still alive in an Instagram post on Sunday.
While friends, relatives, and well-wishers had already gathered for a thanksgiving ceremony on January 12th to celebrate Kosoko’s milestone birthday, his fans had imagined a grand celebration to mark his accomplishments.
But in an effort to show support for the general populace, Kosoko has opted to postpone the celebration in light of the financial difficulties that many Nigerians are currently facing.
He stated, “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.”
Kosoko expressed optimism that the challenges confronting the nation would soon be resolved, allowing for a more joyous celebration in the future.
In closing, he expressed his gratitude to everyone for their support and understanding over this postponed period.
