Gospel singer Moses Bliss has donated N50m to support a festive-season charity initiative planned by Abuja-based lawyer Pelumi Olajengbesi, who is seeking election to the House of Representatives in 2027.
Olajengbesi disclosed the donation in an Instagram post on Friday, saying the singer made the transfer after he shared plans to assist people facing financial difficulties during the festive period.
The lawyer said Bliss also prayed for him before making the donation, describing the gesture as a boost to his plan to reach more people in need in December.

“Afterwards, I shared with him some of my plans to help people in need this festive season. I immediately received a transfer of N50m,” Olajengbesi wrote.
He added that the donation had strengthened his resolve to support vulnerable people, thanking the gospel artiste for his generosity.
Olajengbesi also praised Bliss for making time to pray with members of his team, saying he had admired the singer’s commitment to the practice while serving as his legal counsel.
The donation comes amid growing public support for the lawyer’s ambition to represent Oriade-Obokun Federal Constituency in Osun State in the 2027 elections.
Olajengbesi, who recently turned 40, celebrated his birthday at an event in Abuja attended by dignitaries, including Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.
He recently stepped down as a senior partner at Abuja-based law firm Law Corridor to pursue his political ambition. He also serves as spokesman for the campaign council of Adeleke’s re-election bid.
The lawyer said friends, associates and role models had supported his political journey in different ways, often without public attention.
“Some of my friends, brothers and role models have also supported me quietly in different ways, often when I least expected it,” he said.
Other public figures have also backed his ambition. In October, singer D’Banj reportedly donated three brand-new Sienna buses to support his campaign, while Afrobeats star Davido endorsed his bid in September. Yoruba nation activist Sunday Igboho has also declared support for his candidacy.
Olajengbesi is seeking to unseat Wole Oke of the All Progressives Congress, who has represented the constituency in the House of Representatives for 24 years.
The lawyer has represented several entertainers, including Mercy Chinwo, Moses Bliss, D’Banj and Bidemi Olaoba.
