"MY SON HAD LESS THAN SIX MONTHS TO LIVE" EBENEZER OBEY SPEAKS OUT

 

Legendary singer Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi has spoken out, since the death of his son Yinka,

Yinka, 48, passed away on July 31 and was buried the next day.

Ebenezer Obey claimed in a statement issued today, August 2, that he tried to help his late son, Olayinka, "battle his shortcomings," but was unable. According to him, physicians had given his son six more months to live. In an effort to join the fight against alcoholism and drug addiction, particularly among young Nigerians and those in the Diaspora, he claimed that after hearing the heartbreaking news, he started praying and that God told him to launch a new ministry called "Freedom from Alcoholism and Drug Addiction Ministry."

The singer said;

“The doctors called me six months ago to inform me that Yinka had less than six months to live. It was very painful and bad news that a father must not hear about his son. Since then, l went back to the Holy Spirit to teach me what to do and the result of my communication with the Holy Spirit is the launching of this ministry. I have received several condolence messages from all and sundry. l appreciate everyone for their love and concern.

l also thank Yinka’s friends for their efforts and support.

l thank my eldest son, Shina, for ‘coordinating’ all his younger brothers and sisters, for extra and special care for Yinka till the end of his life. I also thank the pastors, elders, and the entire Decross family for everything.

Once again, I appreciate all condolences, but let us rather turn further condolences to prayer support of this new ministry to help those who are in pain of alcoholism and drug addiction. Get out of alcoholism, get out of drugs. Jesus loves you.

The musician emphasized that his new ministry will also serve as a means of helping the families of young people who are addicted to alcohol and drugs turn their lives around and become better members of society.
