Jide Kosoko Postpones 70th Birthday Celebration

Veteran actor Jide Kosoko has put his 70th birthday party on him owing to the economic situation of the country.

In a lengthy post on his Instagram, the Yoruba actor, he appreciated colleagues who came up with the idea of celebrating his contributions to the industry while he was still alive.

He said he has discussed with them and reasoned that the celebration should be put on hold basically because of the current situation in the country and what people are going through.

He emphasised that he was doing it because of the masses, who he is a part of.

He said: “I want to use this opportunity to offer my sincere appreciation to my colleagues who came up with the idea of celebrating me for my contributions to industry growth and development while I am still alive and kicking. This also falls within the year of my 70th birthday.

“It is my sincere prayer that they will all remain relevant in all areas of human endeavors they find themselves in.

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.

I am very sure that very soon, the challenges facing the country will be over and we will all be happy for it.

I am putting it on hold because of the masses, of which I am a part. Thank you all for your understanding!”.
