In a recent press release shared by Ayefele’s publicist, David Ajiboye it was stated that Ayefele is still a Christian and has no way denounced his religion.

Claims of a possible conversion by the singer arose as a result of his presence at a Ramadan lecture in Ibadan on Tuesday, June 28, 2016.

His publicist, David Ajiboye issued a statement saying Ayefele’s radio station only hosted a lecture in honour of the fasting period for Muslims.

“We believe the rumour must have emanated from the annual Ramadan Lecture which Fresh 105.9FM owned by Ayefele organized 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 naïve minds went to town to spread the rumour about Ayefele’s conversion.”

“We believe its part of our social responsibility to organize such a spiritual rebirth programme to sensitize our Muslim listeners on the ideals of Islam most especially in this holy season.”

He added that regardless of race, religion and/or color it is the social responsibility for his radio station to sensitize its Muslim listeners.
