Nigerian gospel singer Moses Bliss has donated ₦50 million to his lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, to support his planned festive charity outreach to people in need.
Olajengbesi disclosed the donation in an Instagram post on Friday, thanking the gospel artiste for his generosity and support.
According to the lawyer, he shared his plans with Bliss to assist less-privileged Nigerians during the festive season, and Bliss subsequently transferred ₦50 million to support the initiative.
He said, “Afterwards, I shared with him some of my plans to help people in need this festive season. I immediately received a transfer of ₦50 million.”
Olajengbesi described the donation as a provision from God, adding that it had strengthened his resolve to reach more people in need during the festive period.
He also praised Bliss for his commitment to prayer and his concern for members of his team, recalling that the singer took time to pray with him during their meeting.
The lawyer wrote, “I have had the privilege of serving as Minister Moses Bliss’s legal counsel and seeing the grace of God at work in his life.
“One thing I have always admired about him is that he makes time to pray with everyone on his team, just as he did with me. Thank you, man of God.”
The donation comes shortly after Olajengbesi celebrated his 40th birthday at a ceremony in Abuja attended by prominent personalities, including Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke.
The lawyer, who recently stepped down as a senior partner at Abuja-based law firm Law Corridor, is pursuing a political ambition to represent Oriade-Obokun Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives in the 2027 general election.
His political aspiration has attracted support from several entertainment personalities.
In October, Nigerian singer D’Banj donated three Sienna buses to support his campaign, while Afrobeats star Davido endorsed his ambition in September.
Yoruba nation activist Sunday Igboho has also declared support for his candidacy.
Olajengbesi is seeking to challenge Wole Oke of the All Progressives Congress, who has represented the constituency in the House of Representatives for 24 years.
Beyond his political interests, Olajengbesi has represented several Nigerian entertainers, including Mercy Chinwo, Moses Bliss, D’Banj and Bidemi Olaoba, in legal matters.
