Fuji Music living legend, King Wasiu Ayinde Mashal,
popularly known as K1 De Ultimate has met the Representatives of Lagos
government and African Church Primary School, Meiran, over his promise to
sponsor the education of Oluwatobi Ilelolawa, the 12 year-old Primary Six pupil
of African Church Primary School, Meiran, who sketched President
Muhammadu Buhari's portrait with pen without any alteration few days ago.
At the presentation of the kid artist to K1
at Radisson Blu Hotel, Isaac John Street, GRA, Ikeja, the musician said he
was committed to the sponsorship of the boy in line with the vision of his 26
year-old Foundation, which was established to help him contribute meaningfully
to the society.
"As a young boy who is talented, I think the best
thing people like us should do is to support him. By doing so, we are not only
touching lives but helping the society to grow. I have always maintained that
government alone cannot do it, hence the need for individuals and organisations
that have the means to sow seeds that would promote development and touch lives
by contributing to the society," he said. K1 described the boy as a raw
talent that must be guided, supported and not allowed to waste.
While assuring the parents of the boy that he would
henceforth shoulder all financial responsibilities to educate the boy, he urged
them to guide and monitor him very well.
