Famous and popular Fuji icon, Alhaji Abass bass Akande Obesere, fondly
called Vice Chancellor of Entertainment, reacted to a statement
credited to Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as KWAM 1.
Wasiu Ayinde, during a programme recently organised by
Nigerian Breweries tagged 'ARIYA REPETE', K1 was quoted to have said
that the late Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister was not the originator, in
essence trying to establish that he made Fuji more pronounced.
This statement has such created buzz on various social media platforms with some abusing Alhaji Wasiu; and others praising him.
Meanwhile, Obesere when asked about his comment over the
whole matter, said Alh. Ayinde goofed by not recognizing the fact that
the late Barrister is still known as Mr Fuji.
He, however, noted that the likes of his contemporaries
like Alh. Kollington also did a lot in contributing to the acceptance of
Fuji music before their generation geared on.
"He cannot rubbish the great works of late Alhaji
Barrister. He is just imagining himself in Barrister's shoes. If you
don't know something, you find out. As the Yorubas say, if a child does
not meet history, he will definiyely be rendered legends.
"Even Alh. Kollington sang that calling oneself the
originator is not the issue but God's blessings over their music
careers. So, who is he not to recognize that," he said.
