Renowned gospel musician Ben Githae has officially announced his departure from producing political songs, marking a significant turning point in his musical career. The singer, known for hit songs like “Tano Tena,” revealed that a deeply spiritual encounter with the spirit of his late mother moved him to rededicate his life and music solely to serving God.
In a heartfelt statement, Githae shared that his mother, who passed away years ago, appeared to him in a vision, expressing disappointment in the path he had taken and urging him to return to his roots in gospel ministry. “My mother’s spirit reminded me that I was called to serve God, not politics,” Githae confessed, visibly emotional.
For years, Githae has faced criticism for his involvement in politically-charged songs, particularly those that seemed to endorse specific leaders or parties. While these songs brought him nationwide attention, they also sparked debate over the role of gospel artists in political discourse.
Now, the celebrated singer says he is turning over a new leaf. “From this day, my voice will only be used to glorify God. No more politics, no more compromises,” he declared.
Fans and fellow gospel artists have praised Githae’s decision, calling it a powerful testimony of spiritual conviction and personal growth. His return to full-time gospel music is expected to inspire new songs centered on faith, repentance, and divine purpose.
Ben Githae’s story is a reminder that even those who stray can find their way back to their calling—guided by faith and the voices of those who once raised them.
