Christian Music Achievers Awards : Gyang, Ayefele shine
Ogbonna Amadi

The maiden edition of the Christian Music Awards held at the City Hall, Onikan Lagos and at the end of the day, Abuja-based Jeremaih Gyang and Yinka Ayefele stood out with more awards.

Apart from the award winners, Evangelist Ebenezer Obey and Penam Percy Paul were inaugurated into the Music of Fame. A total of 29 awards were carted away on a night, great musical performances were witnessed by the all the guests.

Although the awards ceremony started behind time, it had all the trappings of razzmatazz and more awards. But critics were not however happy that the likes of Evangelist Sunny Okosuns who holds the record of the highest selling gospel artist in the country with his Songs of Praise album which he released on the Ivory Music label in the early 90’s were not inducted into the hall of fame.

As the winners lined up to collect their various awards from special guests like the Director General of the Copyright Commission, Professor Adebambo Adewopo, PMAN President, Admiral Dele Abiodun and movie star Buky Wright, the crowd gave a resounding ovation to show their appreciation.
