*Veteran Fuji Icon, Aare Sir Shina Akanni Declares Readiness To Lead The Fuji World
Veteran Fuji icon, Aare Sir Shina Akanni, has boldly declared that he is ready to take his rightful place as the leader of the Fuji music scene. In a recent statement, the celebrated Fuji maestro expressed his determination to reign supreme, urging other Fuji musicians to give him the necessary space as he ascends to the throne of the genre.
Sir Shina Akanni, who was crowned the “Aare of all Fuji” by the legendary Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, the founding father of Fuji music, is no stranger to the spotlight. His title of *Aare*, which signifies his leadership and excellence in the Fuji genre, was bestowed upon him as a symbol of his influence, mastery, and the trust Barrister placed in him to uphold the legacy of Fuji music. This endorsement from Barrister has placed Akanni in a unique position within the Fuji world, making him a figure of authority and respect among his peers and fans.
In his recent proclamation, Sir Shina Akanni made it clear that the Fuji music scene is entering a new era, one that will be defined by his leadership. With a touch of wit, he remarked that it’s time for other Fuji artists to give him “space,” hinting both at his readiness to dominate and the pun that reflects his humor.
Akanni’s journey in Fuji music has been one of consistency and excellence. For decades, he has been a torchbearer for the genre, blending traditional Fuji rhythms with modern flair, thereby attracting a wide audience that spans generations. His dynamic performances, powerful vocals, and innovative compositions have cemented his place as one of Fuji’s leading lights.
As the Fuji world evolves, the Aare has promised to steer the genre into greater heights. He emphasized the need for collaboration and unity among Fuji musicians but also reminded them of the legacy he carries, being the anointed leader by the very pioneer of the genre. “It is my time to rule the Fuji world,” Akanni confidently declared, leaving no doubt about his intentions to lead with authority, creativity, and passion.
Fuji fans and musicians alike are eager to see what the future holds under the leadership of Aare Sir Shina Akanni. As he takes the helm, it’s clear that the Fuji genre is in for an exciting new chapter—one where tradition meets innovation, and where the Aare of Fuji reigns supreme.
For Akanni, this isn’t just about ruling; it’s about honoring the legacy of his mentor, Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, and ensuring that Fuji music continues to thrive, inspire, and captivate audiences both in Nigeria and across the globe.
As the Fuji world watches in anticipation, one thing is certain: Aare Sir Shina Akanni is ready to lead, and his time is now.

Obasa Felicitates President Tinubu @ 74, says Renewed Hope Agenda is steering Nigeria toward stability and prosperity
Obasa Felicitates President Tinubu @ 74, says Renewed Hope Agenda is steering Nigeria toward stability and prosperity
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Mudashiru Obasa has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 74th birthday, commending him for fulfilling his Renewed Hope Agenda promises to Nigerians.
Speaker Obasa’s birthday message is contained in a statement signed by Adeshina Oyetayo, his Special Adviser on Research, Media, and Documentation.
Speaker Obasa described the President as a purposeful and pragmatic leader whose commitment to enthroning a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria should be appreciated by all
“Mr. President, today should be a national day of celebration honouring your selfless and visionary leadership.
“I commend your courage and conviction to initiate and implement necessary economic reforms that have pulled Nigeria out of the doldrums, stabilized the nation, and set it on the path of prosperity.”
Speaker Obasa said that those otherwise painful reforms are now being hailed as ingenious and effective worldwide, citing a January 2026 article in the influential The Economist magazine titled “Nigeria’s economy may be back from the brink.”
The article acknowledged that President Tinubu’s reforms are beginning to yield bountiful returns as evidenced in the easing of headline inflation for the 11th consecutive month, unification of the foreign exchange market, and foreign reserves rising to $46billion.
Notably, the article also referenced the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s upgraded 4.4% GDP growth forecast for 2026 despite global headwinds, while stating unequivocally that Nigeria’s golden years will return under President Tinubu.
Speaker Obasa said that this submission by an international journal signifies that Nigeria is in safe hands under President Tinubu. He, therefore, urged Nigerians to rally round him and support his re-election bid, promising that the gains of the Renewed Hope agenda will reach every household.
“Our prayer is that the Almighty will grant our dear President long life in robust health and the strength and wisdom to help him achieve the Nigeria of our collective dreams,” Speaker Obasa concluded.
