Lere Olayinka, who serves as the Senior Special Adviser on Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has shared a noteworthy update regarding a recent legal dispute involving Fuji music star Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate.
The veteran musician had earlier sparked widespread controversy after approaching the court to halt the installation of the traditional ruler of Ijebuland. His action quickly drew heavy criticism from the public, with many describing the move as disrespectful to the Awujale stool and inappropriate for someone of his status.
The development generated intense backlash across social and traditional media platforms, prompting strong reactions from cultural stakeholders and concerned citizens alike. Critics argued that the lawsuit threatened long-standing traditions and undermined the authority of the revered institution.
In response to mounting public pressure, K1 De Ultimate eventually withdrew the suit, thereby clearing the path for the coronation process of the next Awujale of Ijebuland to proceed without further legal obstacles.
Lere Olayinka made this disclosure via a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, where he confirmed that the Fuji icon formally requested the court to discontinue the matter. However, Olayinka noted that the singer did not publicly explain the motivation behind either filing or withdrawing the case.
The revelation has since fueled renewed discussions online, as many Nigerians continue to debate the circumstances surrounding the initial lawsuit and its eventual withdrawal.
