Legendary Fuji musician, Adewale Ayuba,
popularly known as “Mr Johnson”, is set to release a new musical album titled
“Isé Olúwa”, in commemoration of this year’s Democracy Day celebration.
Ayuba
disclosed this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on
Wednesday in Lagos.
According
to him, the four-track album to be released on June 14 is aimed at pacifying
Nigerians on current economic challenges.
“One of
the tracks, “Humility”, emphasises the fact that Nigeria is not a destroyed
nation, while the slogan “Nigeria ko wo”, repeatedly emphasised in the song
means ‘Nigeria is not collapsed’.”
He said
the song was for listeners to know that the nation will survive the current
economic hardship and in no time revert to good old days.
“The
tracks in Isé Olúwa album are: ‘Humility’, ‘Jo’folorun’, ‘Jafo Authority’ and
‘Bonsue On The Go USA’. I came up with this album to deliberately speak to
Nigerians in a way of advice.
“We all
know that we have not elected a president from America or other climes, we
elected a Nigerian like us. So, we should exercise patience, support the
government and make things work again.
“Current
economic challenges did not start today and no one can say that President Bola
Tinubu is not working, we must be consistent in our prayers for our leaders,
for divine help.
“I also
emphasise the need to show love, which Yoruba people refer to as ‘Ife
Eleyele’. This is the kind of love exhibited by the pigeons, unequalled love
that will not make an individual to jettison his or her neighbours, friends and
relatives, in face of challenges.
“When we
exhibit this, we will have a sane society,” he said.
Ayuba said
that the album would be accessible on all musical distribution platform when
released.
He urged
his fans across the globe to watch out for the release and position their minds
to be inspired through the songs.
Emphasising on the need to exhibit love to one
another, the Bonsue-crooner said Nigerians must be ready to jettison tribal,
religious and political differences to move forward.
