Former Nigerian Minister of Aviation, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode has located the 9-year-old Imo singing angel.
The 9-year old had gone viral after a video of him singing catholic hymns was posted online.
The video also caught the attention of the Imo state Governor, who promised to automatically adopt him as his son and send him to school till university level.
Fani-Kayode also made a similar promise while redeeming his N250K pledge to the boy and his parents. The former minister said, he is also ready to send him through school till he leaves university.
Sharing a video of his in-law who had gone to deliver the cash gift to the boy’s parents because he also lives in Owerri, Fani-Kayode begged other wealthy Nigerians who had pledged to help the boy who also sold pears to fulfill their promises.
Fani-Kayode’s tweets and video below:
”After much ado we finally found the handsome young boy from Owerri who sings like an angel and I have honoured my pledge. He touched my life with his songs of praise and he inspired and brought hope to millions. May God continue to be with him and use him…
”..I call on all other prominent personalities &public figures that made a similar pledge to him to pls honor them &I reiterate my intention to be responsible for his school fees from now until he finishes University. We must ensure that his gift & talent does not go to waste.
”..Again there will be no more street hawking for him because I will also send him an allowance every month. His golden voice, which is his gift from God, and his obvious love and passion for the Lord has certainly made a way for him and his life will NEVER be the same again.
”..I am so proud of this young man who is doing such a great work & who says he wants to be a priest. I am proud of his parents too who have weathered every storm, remained steadfast in their faith & trusted the Lord regardless of the challenging circumstances that they face.”
