Mr Olumide Sumi, a student, said he was excited about the event and commended the organisers for the initiative.
“I have never had the opportunity to see any of these artistes perform live, so, I’m supper excited about this as it has been sending shivers down my spine.
“I have always been a fan of Durella, Skales and May D and I have finally had the opportunity to see them face to face,” he said.
Yomi Talabi, who came in company with his brothers, said that he was thrilled with the performances.
“The performances have been wonderful as I have been dancing along with my brothers. We have been here since 7. 00 p.m. and I don’t intend to leave anytime soon.
“I’m glad to witness this opportunity and we would definitely be here for all the week-long events,” Talabi said.
Another fun seeker, Bunmi Ishola, noted that the annual event would help in opening the city to the international community and continue to promote Afrobeats to the entire world.
