Simi Cancels Abuja Concert, Promises Ticket Refunds

-


Nigerian singer, Simisola Bolatito Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has put her planned Abuja concert on hold over unresolved venue arrangements, assuring fans who purchased tickets that they would receive refunds.

The singer announced the development on Saturday in a message to her fans, apologising to those who had looked forward to the performance.

“It hurts my heart to say this, but we have to put the SimiLive ABUJA show on hold for right now,” she said.

Explaining the decision, Simi said arrangements with the venue had not come together as expected, despite her earlier announcement of the concert.

“Logistics with the venue have not come together as well as I had hoped. I announced the date in hopes that everything would work out in time, but they haven’t yet, and I don’t want to fail you,” she added.

The Abuja edition of SimiLive was scheduled for December 12, 2026, at 21 Arena, Arts and Crafts Village, Central Business District, Abuja.

Simi apologized to fans who had already purchased tickets and directed them to Partyverse for refunds.

“You’ve been buying tickets and getting excited, and I’m so sorry to disappoint you. We are going to refund all purchased tickets for the SIMILive ABUJA show,” she said.

The singer, however, did not announce a new date for the Abuja concert or specify when the refunds would be completed.

Meanwhile, she reassured her Lagos fans that her concert scheduled for December 5 would still hold, although the venue had been changed to Livespot Entertarium.

“LAGOS DON’T PANIC! See you on the 5th of December. We’re moving to a new venue,” she said, adding that the doors would open at 6 PM.
She encouraged interested fans to purchase tickets through her official website.

Simi, known for songs including ‘Duduke’, ‘Joromi’ and ‘Love Don’t Care’, has built a following for her soulful vocals and songwriting.

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, October 29, 2026, nullified the emergence of Governor Hope Uzodinma as candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Imo West Senatorial election slated to hold on Saturday, January 16, 2027. The court, in a judgment delivered by Justice Obiora Egwuatu, held the evidence before it established that Governor Uzodinma was not the valid winner of the primary election the APC conducted in the senatorial zone on Monday, May 18, 2026, which was monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). According to the court, it was a former Governor of the state, Senator Rochas Okorocha, who garnered the highest number of votes cast at the primary election and therefore ought to have been nominated by the party. Consequently, Justice Egwuatu ordered INEC to forthwith recognise Senator Okorocha and publish his name as the authentic candidate of the APC for the senatorial poll. It further issued an order barring Governor Hope ...
