Atawewe Thrills Thousands, Promotes Culture at Idimu Day 202

It was an evening of rhythm, nostalgia, and raw energy as legendary Fuji musician, Amb. Sulaimon Adio Atawewe, brought the crowd to life at the 2025 Idimu Day Celebration in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos.

Popularly known as “Etu O Si, Oba O Je”, Atawewe reaffirmed his status as a maestro of the Fuji genre, thrilling thousands of fans with a dynamic stage performance that blended traditional Fuji beats with his signature Dancehall Fuji innovation. From his opening notes to his final bow, the atmosphere at the Idimu was nothing short of electric.

The event, organized by the Idimu Community Development Association in collaboration with cultural stakeholders, was a vibrant showcase of Yoruba culture, unity, and musical excellence. Atawewe’s performance was undoubtedly the highlight of the festivities.

With a well-curated set list, the veteran performer delivered fan favorites and classics that spanned his multi-decade career. The crowd erupted in excitement as he performed hits like “To ba bi e re” “Idimu Lawa,” and “Ki lo n fo loke.” The musical interlude was interspersed with praise-singing, call-and-response chants, and high-energy drumming that kept the crowd on their feet.

Dressed in a glittering Ankara for the event, Atawewe’s commanding stage presence and smooth vocals reaffirmed why he remains a household name in the Nigerian music scene. Beyond the performance, the artiste used the platform to promote peace, youth engagement, and cultural preservation.

“Idimu Day is not just a celebration; it’s a reminder of who we are. I’m honored to be here with my people,” Atawewe said during his performance.

Dignitaries at the event included traditional rulers, community leaders, local politicians, and entertainment industry players. Many praised Atawewe not only for his artistry but for consistently using his music to uplift the grassroots and champion indigenous sounds.

As the curtain fell on the 2025 edition of Idimu Day, one sentiment echoed from the crowd — Atawewe did not just perform, he owned the night.

TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI, GCFR With a deeply heavy heart and profound sense of personal loss, I join millions of Nigerians and friends around the world to mourn the passing of our former President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, his children, and his entire extended family. I also condole with the government and people of Katsina State, especially the Daura Emirate, where President Buhari’s journey in life began — a town whose name has become inextricably linked with his legacy. President Buhari’s record of service to Nigeria is almost unparalleled. From the battlefield to the ballot box, he stood as a sentinel of duty. As a military officer, Head of State, and twice-elected President, he offered over five decades of his life to the service of our nation in times of strife and in peaceful times — guided always by a belief in discipline, integrity, and nationhood. What often went unnoticed in public commentary was his unwavering commitment to the core values that bind any serious society: order, punctuality, and accountability. He did not just talk about these values; he lived them. He was perhaps the most punctual public servant I ever encountered — never late to cabinet meetings, always respecting the time of others. It may seem a small thing, but in governance, it is everything. It sets a tone. He had a deep yearning for a society governed by rules, not by impulse. This found early expression in his War Against Indiscipline, a campaign often misread as rigid but rooted in a desire to rebuild a citizenry of order, courtesy, and civic responsibility. I feel privileged to have served in his cabinet — first in the consolidated Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, and later in the restructured Ministry of Works and Housing. President Buhari was not a man to micromanage; instead, he gave you the space and the trust to deliver. With that trust, however, came the highest expectations of discipline, results, and honesty. He had a quiet strength. Yet, within and outside the cabinet, I witnessed his compassion — his deep concern for the poor, the pensioner, the soldier in the trenches, the almajiri child, and the underserved in every part of this country. Under his leadership, the nation confronted formidable challenges: insurgency, economic volatility, a global pandemic, and deep political tension. Yet he remained consistent — never ruled by noise or poll ratings, only by the burden of responsibility and his belief in posterity’s judgment. His death marks the end of a defining chapter in Nigeria’s journey — one marked by sacrifice, moral authority, and patriotic resolve. But even in death, President Muhammadu Buhari leaves behind a living legacy: one of service above self, of discipline without drama, of truth without theatrics. May the Almighty Allah (SWT), whom he served with devotion and humility, forgive his shortcomings and grant him eternal rest in Aljannah Firdaus. Adieu, Mai Gaskiya as you were fondly referred to. Nigeria salutes you. Signed, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN CON
