Fuji musician Akorede Babatunde Okunola popularly known as Saheed Osupa has justified his recent musical salvo during a political performance in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The outburst is believed to be aimed at the state governor, Seyi Makinde.

The singer, last Friday, while performing at Senator Sharafadeen Alli’s declaration for the state governorship race berated Mr Makinde, describing him as deceitful.

“Oyo don’t rely on a deceitful person. Who deceived the first time and did the second administration anyhow. Their secret is exposed. What is 0.1, 0.2? They are all point fraud,” the Fuji star said at the APC governorship aspirant declaration ceremony.

Mr Makinde’s campaign slogans are Omituntun 1.0 and 2.0 indicating his first and second tenures in office.

In a latest viral music clip, the musician said that his contention originated from a sour musical performance deal during electioneering. 

He stated, “I had the experience and it is not a cooked-up story. They brought a job for me to do and I accepted it wholeheartedly. I named my price but they said it was too costly. I considered the job as a collective enterprise. Little did I know that the whole consideration would end regrettably.”

The Fuji artiste alleged that he was contracted for a music performance deal below its worth, adding that he was promised later compensation after securing victory in the election.

He further alleged that his vehicle was damaged during the campaign, but was eventually replaced after agitation and initial sidelining.

“They asked me to do a job worth three shillings for one shilling. They promised that if the election was won in their favour, I would be compensated,” the Fuji artiste said.

“During the campaign, my car was damaged. They promised that I would get a replacement when the election was over. I was sidelined. It was only when the matter almost turned into a fight that I was given another one,” he said.

Stating a similar ordeal that followed what he described as another music contract invitation, the Fuji musician accused Mr Makinde’s administration of refusing to pay for his services.

“They re-invited me for another job. Eventually, they did not want to pay a dime for the latter and the former engagements. Can you see how despicable human beings are?” the artiste said.

Contacted for comments on the accusations, the Oyo State Commissioner of Information, Dotun Oyelade, declined to respond to the musician’s claims.

“Who are we talking about? A musician, an entertainer. Government business is too spurious for Governor Seyi Makinde to waste his time responding to what a musician said at a concert or anything. So we have no comment,” Mr Oyelade said.
