The celebration, which marked a decade of Oba Shotobi’s reign, drew dignitaries, traditional rulers, politicians, and cultural enthusiasts to Ikorodu.
K1, who has long been a musical voice at major state and cultural events, mounted the stage to deliver an energetic performance in honour of the monarch, while also taking a moment to speak directly to the audience and, Nigerians.
During his performance, the Fuji icon urged Nigerians to set aside differences. His remarks came in the wake of recent criticism over an incident at a Lagos airport, where he was accused of disrupting a scheduled flight . K1 had earlier released a video apology addressing the matter, and apologizing to the President, the Minister of Aviation, and his fans.
Oba Shotobi, who ascended the throne in 2015 as the Adegorushen V, has been praised for his role in fostering development and unity in Ikorodu and beyond.
