Nigerian Afropop singer Yemi Alade is among the top musicians that will be performing at the opening ceremony of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The competition’s opening ceremony is slated for the Alassanne Quattara Stadium, Ebimpe, Abidjan on Saturday.
“I can’t buttress the importance of prayer and speaking your heart desires into existence,” Alade said in a statement on her X handle.
“Since 2016, I have desired to perform at the stadium for football ceremonies surrounded by hundreds of dancers and people.
“7 years later, I’m performing at AFCON. It is indeed an honour and a dream come true. It’s just the beginning.” READ ALSO:
