With the theme ‘Jesus our Peace’, the allure of the experience is its penchant for unifying people irrespective of nationality, faith, gender, status or political persuasion, Adefarasin state
He said the event is held every year at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Largo because of the spiritual, historical and political significance of the TBS as a true iconic centre of hope for a people determined to establish their true identity.
According to him, The Experience 2O18 promises to be an evening of edifying enjoyment as the constellation of the world’s finest gospel artistes would be leading us in unrestrained praise and worship into our Creator’s glorious presence.
He noted that regardless of the outcome of the forthcoming elections; peace is the ultimate candidate that we should all support, and must be the candidate that wins.
“Despite many challenges Nigerians may face, we cannot afford to lose faith in God’s ability to turn things around for our good, choosing to see a bright future, the Nigeria of our dreams, one that we can proudly bequeath to the next generation.”
“Our elected representatives can no longer afford to the selfish luxury of focusing on their own interests, rather they must be fully capable of managing our affairs.”
