“I Feel Fulfilled At 83”- Ebenezer Obey Says

Governors, religious leaders, traditional rulers, industry executives, high-ranking officials, renowned musicians, and admirers worldwide are preparing to honor legendary musician Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi as he turns 83 on April 3.

According to a statement from Tunji Odunmbaku, General Manager of Obey Music Group, the music icon has opted for a thanksgiving service instead of a lavish celebration. The service will take place at Decross Gospel Mission, Headquarters of Praise, in Iyana Ipaja, Lagos. Beyond the thanksgiving, the event will also feature intercessory prayers for the nation.

Reflecting on his six decades of music sojourn, Obey said, “I have been a successful musician and one of the leading artists for 68 years, taking my music to the four corners of the world. Despite facing health challenges and undergoing multiple surgical operations, God has granted me victory over them all.”

“I thank God for remaining relevant in my music career while serving Him. Honestly, I have experienced it all, and I cannot thank God enough for the special and unique grace in my life and career. I truly feel fulfilled. I want all my friends, fans, and well-wishers to join me in appreciating God as I turn 83 and celebrate 68 years as a successful, world-acclaimed musician,” he added.
