… Says People Are Crying, Suffering Lamenting Due To Harsh Economy
ONE of the staunch supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and a renowned Fuji musician, Alhaji Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (professionally known as K1 De Ultimate)Thursday announced the cancellation of all activities lined up for his 67th birthday celebration that would have taken place on Sunday 3rd March saying, ‘there is nothing much happening in our country Nigeria to warrant me celebrating at this point’
Speaking further, K1 De Ultimate intoned: “Many people are praying for survival at this point, to feed well is a big issue for many, and as someone who benefits from many of these people crying and lamenting, I share in their pains and see no reason I should be celebrating.
However, K1 De Ultimate in a statement he released where he made public his decision, urged his family and friends to rather use the occasion to reach out to the less privileged in society.
The statement reads: “To the glory of God Almighty, I shall be turning 67 years on this planet earth on 3rd of March 2024.
“A joyous day for me, that many of my friends and associates across the globe usually joined with me and my family to celebrate.
“My fans both home and abroad always make the best out of that day in history.
“Now that the day is near and inside of me, there is nothing much happening in our country Nigeria to warrant me celebrating at this point.
“Many people are praying for survival at this point, to feed well is a big issue for many, and as someone who benefits from many of these people crying and lamenting, I share in their pains and see no reason I should be celebrating.
“Yes, I agree what our country is going through now is not permanent and the government is trying in a possible way to get things fixed and I believe God Almighty shall open ways and better direction for the leadership of our dear country.
“I hereby implore and request all my loved ones, instead of coming to celebrate, eat and drink at this time, please choose this my coming birthday celebration to help someone nearer you.
”To at least secure a better living at this critical period of our nation’s travails to share however small the gift to people.
“God Almighty shall replenish your pockets in multiple folds as you choose to get along with me on this.
“I thank you immensely and I shall live to appreciate you all so very much till my last day on this planet Earth.”
Eighteen-Eleven Media recalls that about two weeks ago, K1 De Ultimate released a video where he lamented the excruciating economic situation of average Nigerians. He called on his benefactor, President Tinubu to do something about ameliorating the situation as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, the Ijebu, Ogun State-born musician was at the bandstand yesterday when President Tinubu commissioned the Red Rail Lane of the state government.
