Veteran Fuji musician Adewale Ayuba has explained why he changed his position on campaigning for politicians, declaring his support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.
The singer shared his reasons during a recent interview on Agbaletu TV, where he maintained that his decision was based on what he claimed to have personally experienced rather than promises made by politicians.

Ayuba said he initially avoided political campaigns because he wanted to assess Tinubu's performance for himself.
However, he explained that some developments had changed his mind.
Ayuba lists reasons for supporting Tinubu
The Fuji star pointed to the condition of roads leading to his hometown in Ikenne, Ogun State, saying five major roads entering the community were now in good condition.
He also recalled the difficulties he faced getting petrol for his band's trucks during his early music career.
According to him, accessing fuel has become easier, while parents can now have greater certainty about their children's university graduation because of fewer disruptions from ASUU strikes.
Ayuba argued that Nigerians should acknowledge improvements when they occur instead of focusing only on negative developments.
He described people who discourage others from speaking positively about the country as enemies of Nigeria.
The musician also defended his position against critics who questioned his decision to support the president.
He claimed that Tinubu's policies had opened Nigeria to business opportunities and encouraged companies that previously left the country to return.
Ayuba further argued that global economic challenges, including the impact of the Iran war and developments in the United States, should be considered when assessing Nigeria's economic situation.
“Tinubu has done very and I cannot keep my mouth shut just because I am a celebrity,” he said.
