Thousands of Lagosians thronged the Pepsi co-sponsored One Lagos Fiesta at several centres in Lagos to bid farewell to 2015, and welcome 2016 with joy and expectations.
The massive crowd that thronged the venue were excited as their favourite artistes held them spellbound with mesmerising performances.
Tiwa Savage in action
The one week event which climaxed on the eve of the New Year had Pepsi music ambassadors Wizkid and Tiwa Savage leading the pack of established artistes to thrill the audience who savoured the occasion. Tiwa who was part of the Marvins crew sang from her rich repertoire including ‘Eminado’ and ‘Girlie-o’, her duet with Patoranking which had the crowd singing along. Wizkid who wore wine Safari attire came on stage waving the ‘One Lagos Fiesta’ flag before setting the stage on fire with his popular song ‘Surulere’, which he called the “new national anthem.”
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode who sat close to the stage danced all through the night. The governor thanked Pepsi and other sponsors who have over the years kept Lagosians happy and expectant of a better future with platforms such as One Lagos Fiesta.
Ambode, however, promised a better Lagos in 2016 with the cooperation of every Lagosian especially corporate citizens like Pepsi and the other sponsors who have been engaging the youths in constructive activities.
