Singer Akothee has issued a response following an unexpected turn of events that led to the cancellation of her planned motivational speaking engagement at Ng’iya Girls. The incident has sparked a range of mixed reactions from the public.
Last week, the accomplished businesswoman had eagerly announced her participation in an upcoming philanthropic initiative at Ng’iya Girls. Her involvement was intended to support underprivileged students while also addressing the student body. The Akothee Foundation, as indicated on a shared flyer, was poised to play a significant role in this endeavor.
However, circumstances took an unforeseen twist when the church overseeing the school raised objections to Akothee’s presence, and this news found its way onto social media platforms.
Akothee, in response, took to her Instagram account where she posted a screenshot of a conversation with another party, verifying that her invitation had been declined by the church. In a statement, she expressed her sentiments, saying, “Ng’iya Girls’ High School has now gained global recognition. I remain committed to supporting initiatives that bring positive change to our society. My support will persist, even from my current standpoint.”
Turning her attention to the church, she extended her thoughts, saying, “To the Arch-Bishop, I empathize with your perspective. I urge you to continue your prayers for us sinners, so that we may all unite in heaven on that destined day.”
The incident elicited a spectrum of responses from Kenyans on Twitter. While some criticized the church’s decision to reject the singer’s invitation, others commended the move, viewing it as appropriate and justifiable.
