Fuji Music : Don’t Drag Me Into Seniority Crisis, Alh. Abass Akande Obesere Warns Younger Colleagues 

Legendary Fuji maestro Alh. Abass Akande Obesere Pk1st, Agbaakin Abobagunwa of Yoruba land has warned colleagues currently warring over seniority ranks to leave him out of such messy fight.

The Nigerian Fuji extraction of the Entertainment industry has been thrown into a war of words and attrition among the Fuji stars who included Alh. Wasiu Alabi Pasuma Wonder, Taiye Currency among others.

e

It all began few weeks ago when Taiye currency was on stage and made general remarks about how many of those who are now stars had had role models who tutored them into stardom. He particularly pointed out that Pasuma was tutored by Obesere as a Fuji musician before he shot into limelight just as Sefiu Alao was tutored by Alh. Shina Akanni among others . Currency was said to have said that because he feels Pasuma is now supporting Malaika who has always been his own rival.

However , the mention of Pasuma being tutored by Obesere has sparkled negative reactions from many of Pasuma’s fans who have been attacking currency on the social media and denying that Obesere was role model to Pasuma.

Obesere’s fans have also replied Pasuma’s fans by posting on the social media several evidences to prove that Oberese was indeed Pasuma’s role model when he began his rise to stardom in the early 1990s. They posted an instance of Pasuma’s confessions when he said Obesere launched his first album that shot him into limelight in 1993 at the LSDP Estate in Isolo, Lagos. They also included that Pasuma used to follow Obesere during the legendary Fuji star’s performances on stage at stadium hotel in suruelre and Obesere would give him the microphone to also sing as a way of encouraging him as a much younger and up coming Fuji musician then.

In addition, Obesere had indeed been a role model to many of the younger Fuji musicians “ who now become over bloated with ego now and forget their humble beginnings just because they now have fame and money”!.

All lovers of the Fuji music industry know the truth. Agbaakin Abobagunwa of Yoruba land Alh. Abass Akande Obesere is a legend. He is a role model to all of them, my Principal cannot be fighting for superiority. He is a legend after the other legendary stars such as Alh. Kolington Ayinla aka Kebe Kwara and the late legendary Fuji creator and originator, Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister (SAB) may Almighty Allah SWT be pleased with him. So, I urge all these younger stars to leave Obesere out of this unnecessary seniority war. He is made already and doesn’t need anyone of them to endorse him or to remain the legendary Fuji star that he is.
