Okorocha arrived the hall to spontaneous applause as the audience was savouring the performance of Glo Brand Ambassador, Korede Bello. The governor excited the guests by taking time out to have some “selfies” against the Glo backdrop with attendees of the show.
Korede Bello’s performance which included ‘Adaobi’ and his much loved song ‘God Win’ was preceded by Ego’s performance, who rendered some of the songs she is famous for.

The presence of one of the nation’s best female disc jockeys, DJ Lambo, in the music box excited the audience and she was magnificent throughout.
