Fuji star, Saheed Osupa, has rained beautiful words on the new Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja .
Amid arguments that Osupa was supposed to be the one to perform at the coronation, based on his the mature and philosophical profile of his music, he has come out to celebrate the king.
His younger colleague, Taye Currency, who performed at the coronation, goofed – as many believe – based on the foul lyrics and theatrics he deployed.
Congratulating Oba Ladoja, Osupa, in a statement on his Facebook page, described him as one who has had a remarkable journey of life.
Osupa wrote:
“On behalf of my family, management, and fans, I join numerous well-wishers in celebrating my father, Oba Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja (Arùsà 1), on his coronation as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.
“Baba’s life serves as a testament to his remarkable journey, from accomplished businessman to Senator, Governor, and now Olubadan. Your calm, principled, and humble demeanor have endeared you to many. One of the unique features of your character is your resilience in the face of adversity, particularly during your impeachment and subsequent court battles, which further earned you widespread admiration.
“Your popularity in Ibadan stems from your dedication to the city’s progress and service. As the new Olubadan, you bring with you wealth of experience and a deep understanding of Ibadan’s history and culture. Ibadan, a city that has played a significant role in Yoruba history and leadership, is poised to rise again and reclaim its prideful place.
“As you embark on this journey, I pray for a peaceful and prosperous reign, and may your ‘IDÈRÀ DÈ’ name bring solace not just to Ibadan, but to Yorubaland and Nigeria as a whole.
Kabiesi Oooooooo.”
