Fuji artiste, Saheed Osupa, has saluted the Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, as he turns 87 on Tuesday July 13, 2021.
Although Osupa did not not do so via his normal musical channel, he in a statement hailed Soyinka as the the ‘primus inter pares’.
The musician otherwise called Saridon P said in a Facebook post: “To a primus inter pares, an African pride, a National crusader, a father-figure, a meritorious mentor, a legendary icon, a core traditionalist, a global scholar, a witty literatus, a rare gem and an outstanding intelligentsia whose erudition I so much adore and respect.
“Thank you for being a blessing to the entire Black race, Prof. May the God of longevity grant you his favour sir, because we really need you to stay longer for a better tomorrow. Happy 87th Birthday, King Kongi, Prof Wole Soyinka! My love for you can never be overstated!”
