Having said that, I must also commend King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall’s act of accountability in taking responsibility for his actions and apologising to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the nation within 48 hours of the incident.

To err is weakness, and to continue in your error is wickedness. K1 De Ultimate showed that he, like all humans, is weak. However, he demonstrated that though he may be weak, he is not wicked.

Therefore, I urge that, within the ambit of the law, justice should be tempered on him with mercy.

I compare his behaviour to that of the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the #NigerianElections2023, Mr. Peter Obi, who was caught red-handed in a leaked audio threatening to unleash “Religious War” on the Muslim Ummah.

To date, Mr. Peter Obi has neither admitted what we all know, that he is the one on that leaked ‘Yes Daddy’ tape, nor apologised to the nation and specifically to the Muslim Ummah.

A man, like Peter Obi, who cannot admit his error when he is not in power, will definitely commit terror when in power!

It takes courage to do what K1 De Ultimate did—courage that Peter Obi obviously does not have. That is why I salute King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall and continue to respect him.

In a statement personally signed by the veteran singer, K1 expressed deep regret over the misunderstanding, which sparked reports suggesting he had attempted to board a flight with alcohol in his flask. He, however, firmly denied the claim, clarifying that the flask contained only water due to a medical condition.

“Unknown to many, I suffer from chronic dehydration and have been medically advised to stay constantly hydrated. The flask I carried that day contained only water not alcohol as speculated,” he explained.

According to the singer, the flask was empty during two rounds of security checks and was only filled with water at the airport lounge before proceeding to the tarmac. He further noted that he had not boarded the aircraft at the time of the incident. While insisting he had no intention to disrupt airport protocols or cause embarrassment, K1 apologised to all parties concerned, including the Presidency, Ministry of Aviation, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), ValueJet, and his global fanbase.

“I deeply regret any concern this incident may have caused. My loyalty to Nigeria and commitment to upholding its image remain steadfast. I would never do anything to tarnish the reputation I’ve built over the past five decades,” he added.

K1 reaffirmed his dedication to promoting Nigerian culture and music worldwide and expressed appreciation to those who reached out with concern and support during the controversy.

Halimotu Anifowoshe, 105, died barely four days after the former wife of the Fuji legend, Hafsat, died at age 65.

Halimotu was pronounced dead by medical experts in her hometown, Ijebu Ode, Ogun State where she resides.

A family source told our correspondent that the centenarian passed on in the early hours of Saturday, throwing the entire Ijebu Ode into mourning.

He added that the deceased singer’s mother would be laid to rest in principle with Islamic rites later in the day in her hometown.

According to him, the Fuji musician has become sober considering the bond between him and the mother who he often praises during performance on stage.

The centenarian’s death came after the artiste disclosed that he got his singing talent from the mother who was not allowed to sing despite her talent.

K1 recently disclosed that his mother was a king’s daughter and his grandparents did not allow her to pursue a career in music because they wanted her to get married.
