It is obvious, even to a day old baby, that King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall is the official musician of Lagos state and a huge beneficiary of the Lagos APC machinery. It will shock you to know, however, that the buck stops at the boundary between Oyo and Osun States!!
The open secret is that the energetic Awolowo in embryo Governor of Osun State, Governor Aregbesola, tows a different line from the Lagos crowd, Aregbe prefers and is inspired by the powerful composition and endless spontaneous repertoire of King Saheed Osupa.
It is not in doubt the King Saheed Osupa is a chip off the block of the powerful repertoire of Late Haruna Ishola, Yusuf Olatunji, Ayinla Omowura, Saka Ligbade, Lefty Salami and remarkably, Fuji Music Capstone, Dr Sikiru Ayinde Barrister (RIP). Even, die-hard critics readily attest to the fact Obanla1, Saheed Osupa's street acronym, is a very powerful fuji music composer and singer (you cannot fault that).
Osupa's brilliance and near excellent use of the Yoruba diction and semantics seems to have endeared him, not surprisingly, to those that really appreciates good music and composition. Saheed is also a no-nonsense spartan musician who does not take any mickey lightly. He is said to have adopted this no-nonsense military discipline from the surviving Fuji Landlord. Kebe n Kwara, Alhaji Kollington Ayinla. The fear of Osupa seems to be the beginning of wisdom in the Fuji Music enclave. Take it or leave it, Osupa is a delightful, rich, spontaneous, vociferous, dynamic and can also be termed the enfant terrible lad of Fuji Music.

When you walk into the office of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, the Executive Governor of State of Osun, chances are that you would meet him doing one of the following: attending one meeting or the other with stakeholders in the state; his head bowed studying mountainous files jostling for his attention; his bespectacled eyes fixed on his personal computer; or found listening to the music of Saheed Osupa when yearning for relaxation after a hard-day’s job. While it has been reported that Ogbeni Aregbesola has a broad musical taste, so evident is the governor’s love for Saheed Osupa that he mostly choruses his songs anywhere they are being played.
And indications are rife that the governor would have much more of the talented Osupa’s songs to sing in coming days. A very reliable source close to the award-winning musician reveals that he is in the studio waxing an album in celebration of Aregbesola’s exploits. Reminiscent of the album he did for Governor Babatunde Fashola in the run-up to 2011 gubernatorial election in which he eulogised his achievements in the first term and also campaigned for his second term.
Osupa is reportedly releasing a full album in 2014 for Aregbesola’s re-election bid while he would be dropping a promotional tape on ‘Opon Imo’ any time soon. ‘Opon Imo’ also known as ‘Tablet of Knowledge’ is Ogbeni Aregbesola’s recent initiative geared towards improving educational standard of Osun State and fostering computer literacy amongst the students and teachers of the State.
