Amid the economic challenges in the country, veteran actor Jide Kosoko has decided to delay his 70th birthday festivities.
As reported by the News Agency of Nigeria, Kosoko expressed gratitude to colleagues and fans for considering celebrating his achievements in the industry while he's still alive.
Although the Nollywood star turned 70 on January 12, he initially marked the milestone with close friends, family, and well-wishers during a Thanksgiving service.
Despite plans for a grand celebration by colleagues and fans, Kosoko has opted to postpone the event due to prevailing economic conditions in the country.
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 the growth and development of our industry 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 endeavours 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 about it. I am putting it on hold because of the masses, of which I am part of. Thank you all for your understanding!.”
