With the presidential ambition of the National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu gathering momentum by the day, a good number of people have been identifying with him in that regard. And, it should interest you to know that, there are at least, 2 Fuji music stars who have openly identified with Tinubu’s ambition so far. How? They have started singing about the need for Nigerians to give Tinubu a chance to rule Nigeria by 2023.
And, predictably, one of the 2 Fuji music stars is King Wasiu Ayinde Anifowoshe Marshal better known as K1. Anyone who has been following Tinubu’s politics since when he was the Governor of Lagos State would not be surprised that, K1 is with him on the mission to become Nigeira’s next President after Muhammadu Buhari must have left office in 2023. K1 happens to be the first musician, so to speak, who started hinting at Tinubu’s political interest in succeeding Buhari, as he has been canvassing for him with his music for a while now.
And, it would also be recalled that, K1 was even the artiste that performed at the launch of a group known as South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) in Lagos State recently. The group is obviously designed to promote the Tinubu’s presidential ambition, and K1 has been seen to be fully involved with them. Meanwhile, the other Fuji music star who has used his music to identify openly with Tinubu’s 2023 presidential ambition is Asiwaju Abass Akande better known as Obesere.
Interestingly, as Fuji artistes, K1 and Obesere hardly agree on anything because they have a long history of rivalry between them in the industry. But, Tinubu’s presidential ambition seemed to have changed that as Obesere too has recently released a short music video with which he is canvassing for Tinubu to become Nigeria’s President in 2023. In the video titled: “Baba Ti Soro Soke, Tinubu For President In 2023”, Obesere took his time to sell the candidacy of Jagaban Borgu as Tinubu is also called, to the audience. But, whether the audience would accept the candidate he is selling or not, is a different ball game.
So, without doubt, K1 and Obesere have so far identified openly with Tinubu over his presidential ambition. And, whether some other Fuji music stars would be joining them in that regard or not, is left to be seen.
