Peter Okoye of the defunct Psquare who now goes by the solo name "Mr P" has been announced as one of the biggest artistes that will perform at the annual Lagos musical show, 'One Lagos Fiesta.' The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde who made the disclosure while briefing newsmen in Lagos said Peter is billed to perform at the Town Hall, Ikorodu; Marina Beachfront, Epe; the Eko Atlantic Beach, Victoria Island and at Agege Stadium, Agege.
He added that Peter’s performances at Eko Atlantic and Agege will hold on December 28 and 29, respectively. He explained that the government has packaged this year's event to be bigger than the previous shows.
“You will agree with me that the One Lagos Fiesta has become one of our star programmes. It is very much in line with the belief that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has in the culture and entertainment industry, as well as tourism. On the one hand, we believe that we should empower the sector in whatever way we can, because it is also capable of generating employment and, ultimately, boosting the economy of the state and country at large.
On the other hand, the Ambode government is aware that Lagosians have accepted the One Lagos Fiesta as their own. They love it, they look forward to it and that is why it records massive attendance at every venue. Of course, it is a way of giving our people an exciting year-end enjoyment.”
The One Lagos Fiesta started in the five zones of the city on Sunday and will run for another six days. About 100 artistes are billed to participate in the musical carnival.
