Popular Fuji musician Saheed Osupa has stirred reactions following comments made during a political gathering in Ibadan, where he performed at the declaration event of Sharafadeen Alli.
While addressing attendees through music, Osupa reportedly stated that “only a bastard of Ibadan will not follow where the Olubadan is going,” a remark interpreted by many as a call for loyalty to traditional authority in the city.
The musician also took a swipe at the current administration, urging residents not to support any candidate endorsed by Seyi Makinde. He described the governor’s political succession plan, often referred to as “3.0,” as a “scam.”
The comments, delivered in a charged atmosphere, have since generated mixed reactions among political observers and residents, with some viewing them as a strong political endorsement, while others have criticized the language used.
The event marked a key moment in the build-up to the gubernatorial race, as Alli formally declared his ambition, drawing supporters and notable figures from across the state.
As political activities intensify ahead of upcoming elections, such statements are expected to further shape public discourse and alignments within Oyo State .
