It is a day we want to use to praise God, irrespective of your religion or tribe, which is what we want to use that day for. It is not for Ijebu or Ogun state alone but for the whole federation.

    Nigerian leading gospel singer, Lanre Teriba, has declared his interest in becoming the Vice President of Gospel and Music Association of Nigeria (GOMAN).

    According to him, “I remember that I am a professional artiste and I am still a full-time member of GOMAN. And anytime soon, I am coming out as the vice president of GOMAN.”

    Atorise further addressed the rumour that trailed his personality and the association. “Rumor is normal, it is when you are relevant that people get to talk about you; when you are not a relevant artiste people won’t say anything about you. Indisputably, it is one of those things we pay for, being a star.”

    The controversial artiste also lamented the support the Nigerian entertainment industry is lacking from the President Buhari-led administration.

    “President Muhammadu Buhari has nothing to offer the entertainment industry,” he said.

    He said this in reference to the terrible state of Nigerian economy as well as Buhari’s lack of plans for the entertainment industry.

    His debut album, titled Atorise made him a prominent face in the gospel world.

    However, despite his huge success recorded in his musical career, controversies has been trailing his brand as an inspirational artiste.
