Asake and Dad reconcile
Nigerian music star Asake and his father, Fatai Odunsi have reconciled their differences after social media controversies over alleged failure of the young man to take care of his father’s material needs..
Odunsi, who has been battling an illness, had earlier claimed that Asake had not been financially supportive despite his rise to fame.
However, in a video shared on Sunday by Mrlilgaga, he expressed pride in his son and offered prayers for him.
Speaking in Yoruba, Odunsi stated, “I am proud of him,” as he showered blessings on Asake.
Explaining why he had initially spoken out against the singer, he noted that it had been a long time since they last saw each other.
“His mother ought to ask him when last he saw me. That was what got me angry, but we have sorted all the problems. We are no longer fighting,” he said.
Odunsi also disclosed that Asake has made arrangements to buy him a new house, confirming that house agents have already begun searching for a property.
“Asake said he will do everything that I want. We have settled, no more problems. They are now looking for a new house that he will buy for me. He has settled everything,” he added.
Odunsi revealed that Asake has committed to taking full responsibility for his 11-year-old daughter, Zeenat.
“He has never denied his child, but he has now promised to take full responsibility on the child,” he stated.
The elderly man further mentioned that he would be visiting the hospital the following day, as Asake had provided him with everything he needed.

Breaking: Court of Appeal rules in favour of Turaki -led PDP candidate for Osun governorship election
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, on Thursday, ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Gubernatorial Candidate in Osun State was validly nominated by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee.
The court also ordered INEC to list the PDP logo on the ballot ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
The Court held that access code is neither a creation of the Constitution nor the Electoral Act; rather, a creation of INEC’s guidelines and cannot, in any way, override the provisions of the Constitution.
Section 288 of the Constitution does not specify the method for nominating candidates; it only states that the names of candidates should be forwarded to the Commission.
The court further held that the defendant (INEC) should take steps to include the name of the appellant on the ballot paper.
Additionally, the court ruled that the primary election conducted by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP was a valid primary election in law.
The three-man panel of justices—Justice Mahmud, Justice Jaro, and Justice Ankawere, was unanimous in its judgment.
