“I am pleading with the media to give the song the needed publicity as we promote it on various media platforms,” he admonished.

The competition to select the Theme song for the 13th African Games started with a list of three hundred entries which was shortlisted to ten by a team of music experts and further pruned down to three, out of which the eventual winner, Oshogbo, was selected.
