Kwam 1 Conferred With ‘Olori Omo Oba’ Title At Ojude Oba Festival
Popular Fuji maestro, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, famously known by his stage name, KWAM 1 De Ultimate, has been conferred the chieftaincy title of ‘Olori Omo Oba’ at this year’s recently concluded Ojude Oba festival in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
The title was last held by the founder of the First City Monument Bank, the late Chief Subomi Balogun who died on May 18, 2023.
The title was passed onto the Fuji musician, by the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, a first-class Oba in Yorubaland.
Wasiu Ayinde, whom many Fuji music lovers regard as the heir to the late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, has remained one of the most recognised artistes from Nigeria, both locally and on the international scene.
KWAM 1 has received congratulatory messages on social media. One of which is was his wife, Emmanuella, whose absence as a result of the Hajj pilgrimage, didn’t prevent her from wishing her husband well.
