Popular gospel singer, Yinka Ayefele has confirmed that he would
celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ghastly auto accident that
confined him to a wheelchair and changed his life forever.
Recall that on December 12, 1997, Ayefele was involved in a ghastly motor accident along Ibadan/Abeokuta Road. The tragic event in which he lost the use of legs has been the motivation for many of his songs.

According to the musician, the ceremony would be a week-long series
of activities in Oyo and Ekiti states between December 12 and December
17.
Ayefele said he believes the incident, though a sad one, was what transformed his life and he has to reach out to people in order to appreciate God’s magnanimity in his life over the last two decades.
