• The wedding took place on February 13, 2025, with a small group of family and friends in attendance.

Renowned Nigerian gospel singer Tope Alabi added a heartfelt touch to her daughter Ayomiku Mary Alabi’s wedding celebration by performing Running (To You), a 2020 hit by Chike featuring Simi. The emotional rendition was a special tribute to her husband, Soji Alabi.

The wedding, held on February 13, 2025, was an intimate gathering of close family and friends. Tope’s choice of the romantic ballad, with lyrics like “I’ll be running to you, running to you, no looking back,” not only celebrated her daughter’s union but also highlighted her own enduring love story with Soji.

Tope and Soji’s journey began in 1994 when he worked as a sound engineer on her Yoruba film projects. Their professional connection blossomed into romance, leading to their marriage in 1998. Over two decades later, Soji remains a pivotal figure in Tope’s career, managing her work and overseeing her annual Praise the Almighty concert.

Her performance at Ayomiku’s wedding was a heartfelt acknowledgment of Soji’s unwavering support. Just last month, Tope publicly honored him with the Husband of the Year award during her 15th annual worship event in Lagos.

Tope Alabi’s emotional tribute through song became one of the most memorable moments of her daughter’s wedding celebration, showcasing not only the joy of the newlyweds but also the strength of her own marriage.

She goes on to sing

“I’ll be a soldier for you

I’m getting better in kung-fu

You should know I got you

And you don’t need to get me too

I’ll be right beside you

In anything that you do

If you ever need saving

I will be running to”
