Rukayat
Gawat-Oyefeso; is one of the most patronized Islamic singers in town
and she comes across to you as a likeable and down to earth person was
at her very best vibes at the out gone weekend, which was indeed a
momentous one for Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the governor of the state of
Osun. The astute politician and second-term governor of the state
clocked 60 glorious years on earth. As to be expected of a man of his
status, many drums were rolled out from different quarters in
commemoration of his birthday. From Osogbo, the capital city of the
state, to Ilesha, his native hometown, down to Lagos, his adopted
homestead for years, it was celebration and salutations galore for the
man who has brought smiles to the faces of many via his relentless
service to the people, at different points of his call to service.
Religious organizations of all divides, the labour force, youths,
children, government parastatals and the social circuit, all jostled to
have a share in the birthday celebration of the Ogbeni,
who has fought
and won many political battles in the last two decades of his life. But,
perhaps one persona, who brought shine to the entire weeklong birthday
celebration, is the captivating and spectacular female Islamic gospel
music crooner, Rukayat Gawat. The sensational and now leader in the pack
of Islamic music genre, was at her best at one of the glees that marked
the 60th birthday of the governor and she did give a good account of
herself, with very soulful and inspirational melodious tunes to spice up
the ceremony, which had many traditional rulers, politicians, top
government functionaries, students, workers and many more in attendance.
The highpoint of the glamorous event was when the birthday boy and some
traditional rulers could not just hold their urge, as they all stood up
to join the sonorous-voiced singer on the dance floor. It was really a
glorious moment for the Ogbeni and his wife, Sherifat, who both attested
to the dexterity and dynamism of ubiquitous Rukayat Gawat, who in the
last couple of years has been giving a new face to the soul of rhythmic
and pious Islamic tunes.
