At the same declaration event in Ibadan, Fuji music star Saheed Osupa intensified his remarks in support of Senator Sharafadeen Alli, making a strongly worded statement aimed at reinforcing loyalty among supporters.
Osupa reportedly said that it would be unthinkable for any “true” indigene of Ibadan to oppose the senator’s candidacy, adding that only a person considered disloyal or of questionable character would go against Alli in the polls.
The comment, delivered before a crowd at the Yemetu 1,000-capacity field, drew loud reactions from attendees and further underscored the emotionally charged atmosphere of the gathering.
The event, which also referenced the influence of traditional authority linked to the Olubadan of Ibadanland and former governor Rashidi Ladoja, featured a series of endorsements and speeches positioning Alli as a consensus candidate within the local political space.
