Popular singer, Wasiu Ayinde a.k.a Kwam 1 has come out to confirm that reports saying he initiated the registration of the Fuji Musicians Association of Nigeria (FUMAN) with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) are true. He recently had his say during an interview on the Agbaletu Radio, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he personally sponsored the drafting of the association’s constitution, however, despite his massive contributions to make Fuji the enjoyable form of music it is today, he keeps facing criticism from within the industry.
He added that he single-handedly volunteered to make the registration happen, and the constitution was even written in his house.
His words, “My Fuji was not supposed to become something controversial. When I had the chance to put my name on Fuji during registration, I did not do so. I registered Fuji in Nigeria. I registered it as the Fuji Musicians Association of Nigeria (FUMAN). The title of our genre of music is Fuji. I registered it with the Corporate Affairs Commission.
I drafted the constitution. I single-handedly volunteered. The constitution was written in my house. I selected a constitutional drafting committee — Fasaye Alao, Muhideen Asekun, Raji Akangbe as interim president, Kolotiti, who was my personal secretary, was the one typing. They were having meetings at my house. And the meetings were held in the presence of my lawyer.
God used me to do many things. What did you pay me back with? Whatever they are doing is spoiling the image of Fuji.”
WOW.
