Gospel singer, Yinka Ayefele clears the air on his alleged conversion to Islam

Gospel Tungba crooner, Yinka Ayefele, has cleared the air on the claim that he has converted to Islam. Yesterday, the news of his conversion to Islam became rife with fans both home and abroad making calls to find out the veracity of the claim.



A release issued by his Publicist, David Ajiboye said, Ayefele is still a Christian and has no reason whatsoever to renounce his faith and believe.

“We believe the rumour must have emanated from the annual Ramadan Lecture, which Fresh 105.9FM owned by Ayefele organised on Tuesday, in Ibadan.

“Our station, Fresh 105.9FM had invited popular Islamic preacher, Alhaji Muideen Ajani Bello as the guest preacher at our annual Ramadan Lecture, which had over 4,000 people in attendance and because of this, some naive minds went to town to spread the rumour about Ayefele’s conversion.”

Ajiboye stated further that the station is for everybody irrespective of your religion, race or colour. “We believe it’s part of our social responsibility to organise such a spiritual rebirth programme to sensitize our Muslim listeners on the ideals of Islam most especially in this holy season.”
