The show had heavy support from politicians, traditional leaders, members of the clergy, ambassadors, the media and the general public.
The four-hour show saw Obiba Sly Collins perform songs from his new album Reality. He sang songs like Yesu Do, Ayeyi, Kyere Me, Mininam, Don’t Tell Me, Jesus Na Big Man and Boko Boko to the large crowd.
Obiba Sly Collins on stage took time to drop his message for Ghanaians ahead of the Presidential and Parliamentary elections due for December 7.
“As we all have pledged to maintain peace, order and tolerance before, during and after the elections, I pray the youth don't get swayed into mischief. They have a future to protect so I urge them to ignore any negative call on them by any politician or war-mongers to engage in that,” he said.
"Even before the elections, some of us kept spreading the message of peace across the length and breadth of this country. Obiba Foundation had to accentuate that by putting up the Ghana + Peace initiative with which we are telling Ghanaians there is no need to fight” he said.
He said that he succeeded in sending the peace message across all the 10 Regions of this country and is glad politicians, Chiefs, Clergy and opinion leaders came on board to support.
The night also saw performances from musicians Amandzeba, SP Kofi Sarpong, Yaw Sarpong, Ngozi Orji (Nigeria), Jupitar, Trigmatic and Weigeiwor.
