Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde generously gifted a sports utility vehicle to the renowned Fuji musician Saheed Osupa. In a heartwarming moment captured on Monday, the 54-year-old singer took to Instagram to share a video of the governor’s office representatives presenting him with the car key.
Saheed said it was promise made and fulfilled.
“Promise made and fulfilled! Thank you, Governor Oluseyi Makinde of Oyo State. Excellency ti se kinni yen,” he said.
A video he shared on Instagram showed him singing praises to the governor.
His fans have begun congratulating him on the gift.
Saheed recently clocked 54 and recounted the struggles he went through before emerging as a force in his genre.
In an Instagram post, he said he had a “stormy start” from his days in Ajegunle, a suburb of Lagos.
According to the singer, he kept pressing on when things were tough, believing that after the storm comes the rainbow.
“Trust me, that coming from a stormy start, and getting to this height, has not been easy, the unpredictability of the gravity of life has always moved the son of man through many ups and downs, with life’s pendulum surprisingly swinging from back and forth to left and right,” Saheed wrote.
“A tortuous journey it has been, a journey that began from my hood, Ajegunle, to the world.
“At one point or the other, I have been pressed on every side by troubles, hugged tightly by the arms of tussles while I wriggled, I was wrapped roughly with the wrappers of struggles, knocked many times, and many more times I was crushed, but I never crashed, smashed but never broken, stomped on severally, yet the jazzy Jackie always danced up to these jazz music with resurging Fuji jives.”
Saheed Osupa said the fact that he is successful is a testimony that “God is not dead.”
