Warri, the commercial heartbeat of Delta State, is set to come alive on June 19 as the city plays host to the much-anticipated Delta Peace Infotainment Concert—a timely intervention aimed at calming the rising tensions and fostering unity across troubled communities in the state. At the forefront of this powerful initiative is Afrobeat star, Harrysong, who doubles as the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
With both his influence in the music industry and his role in government, Harrysong is leveraging his platform to address the emotional and psychological wounds caused by recent communal clashes. The concert comes on the heels of growing unrest and communal disputes that have disrupted peace in parts of Delta State. For many, the situation has created fear, uncertainty, and division—especially among the youth who often bear the brunt of these conflicts.
According to Harrysong, the concert is not just another show, but a strategic peace effort meant to support Governor Oborevwori’s peace-building agenda. “Music has the power to bring people together when words fail. This concert is our call for unity, our appeal for peace,” he said in a statement ahead of the event.
Backed by Henric Empire Gardens, the Delta Peace Infotainment Concert is designed to provide a platform for healing, dialogue, and entertainment. It will bring together artists, cultural figures, and influencers from across the state to amplify the message that peace is possible—even in the most fractured communities.
