Abeokuta-based multi-talented broadcaster and music artiste, Ambassador Olufemi Orunsola known for dropping evergreen hit singles such as the popular "NAIJA FLAG FLYING" national unity song and "KO GBA GIDIGBO", an anti-election violence song that enjoyed massive airplay on radio and television stations during the 2019 and 2023 general elections, is now set to launch another banger focused on the Golden Jubilee anniversary of Ogun state.

A statement released by the Artiste Manager, Mr. Tunde Adeojo on Thursday says Ambassador Orunsola staged named Awe, has already swung into his self-styled creative action with the composition of a Golden Jubilee Anniversary theme single for the Gateway state and would be paying a courtesy visit to the office of the Head of Service, Mr.Kehinde Onasanya at his Oke-Mosan office soonest to intimate the state government with the new creative move and initiative. 

In his own words, Awe stated that the  decision to once again swing into creative action to compose and produce a melodious Golden Jubilee Anniversary song for the Gateway state comes as a natural move for him based on his antecedents and track record as a Nigeria-centric, self-styled music artiste.

He also noted that the 50th Anniversary of the Gateway State, known for its many firsts in Nigeria and the parade of a galaxy of high-networth individuals and achievers cutting across virtually all spheres of human endeavours, is truly worthy of celebration in a grand style.

While calling on all citizens and residents of the state to contribute towards making the celebration colourful and memorable, Awe stressed that no stone will be left unturned to add value to the Golden Jubilee celebration on his own part and by his primary spheres of influence- the media and music.

Awe, whose first hit single tagged "EDUMARE DON BLESS ME," was released in 2010 and has continued to enjoy airplay on both local radio and television stations in the state, recently dropped Egba Carol- a creative freestyle of the "Long Time Ago in Bethlehem" popular Christmas carol song delivered in his typical Egba Rap style.

Over the years, Awe has earned a reputation for composing and producing multiple social mobilization songs on topical societal issues as well as several winsome election campaign songs for major political aspirants in Ogun state and beyond, including the incumbent Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the 2023 general elections.
