Otunba Sesan Rufai, the owner of one of the wave-making online media outfits, Goldmynetv and Chairman of Limelite Hotel & Suites is one of the people you see around the Maiyegun of Yorubaland, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal 24/7. They are very close. Anytime K1 is celebrating, you will see Otunba Sesan Rufai coordinating. You need to see the regards they always give each other in public, you will always see Otunba standing behind K1 which underlines their brotherly relationship. Many people, especially those who are not close to them, though probably the relationship was based on business, as they always see Goldmynetv’s crew at any party where K1 is playing. But City People can authoritatively tell you that the relationship is far more than that.
You will also agree that the insinuation became deeper when Otunba Sesan Rufai broadcasted the death of his father, late Chief Samson Rufai JP, Mefu of Igan Kingdom in Ago- Iwoye a few months ago, and in that broadcast, the Maiyegun of Yorubaland was mentioned as part of the family. How come? How are they related? At least many already know that King Wasiu Ayinde is from Ijebu- Ode. These and many other questions started flying up and down. In fact, many couldn’t wait till the day of the final burial, just to know about their actual relationship and how K1 is to the family. And lo and behold, K1 de Ultimate actually confirmed their relationship in his speech on that day. But before that, let us quickly gist you on what happened in Ago-Iwoye at the event, and how Otunba Sesan Rufai shut down the whole of Ago-Iwoye for his father’s final burial.
On Friday, 20th May 2022, top society personalities gathered in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State for the final burial of late Chief Samson Rufai JP, Mefu of Igan Kingdom, Ago-Iwoye. It was a gathering of the high and mighty, notable celebrities, dignitaries from all walks of life, even monarchs, as led by the Ebumawe of Ago-Iwoye, HRM Oba Abdulrazaq Adenugba with their Queens. They all stormed Ago-Iwoye City Stadium & Wosam Arena Event Center to give the father of one of the media gurus his last respect.
The party was indeed glamorous with K1 De Ultimate on the bandstand. The Maiyegun of Yorubaland delivered quality music as usual and performed to the delight of the guests, as they danced and enjoyed every beat from the King himself. Food and drinks were also in excess.
Celebrities who graced the occasion included Iyalaje Toyin Kolade, Prophetess Mary Olubori, Kenny Ogungbe, Idowu Ogungbe, Dayo Adeneye, Kwame, Aare Dele Momodu, Bamidele Onalaja and many others. Also in attendance was the former Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Prince Segun Adesegun.
Now speaking on his relationship with Otunba Sesan Rufai and why he does not joke with the entire Rufai family, K1 de Ultimate said “ I have so much to say about late Chief Samson Rufai. but we thank God that he made us children to appreciate the kind of father he is. I got 2 points from what Kabiyesi said about Mefu. Mefu will never lie, he will tell you as it is. He was a man that didn’t take nonsense, a disciplinarian to the core, you have nothing to entice him. If he does not agree with you, he does not agree. At times, if I send people to him, he would insist that I must come myself and I must go. I bless God for making me to pass through that kind of a man. God used him for me a lot. There is nothing I want to do that I don’t inform him about, if he wants me to do it he would say yes and if he doesn’t, he would ask me to stop. Mefu was like a guardian angel to me. May his soul rest in peace. Mefu was a man of honour until his last day on earth, we all hear what Kabiyesi said about him. I pray God be with you Sesan and give you long life, everything you lay your hands on will continue to prosper. I am an adopted son of Mefu. He told me to my face “I am your father. If anybody asks you to bring your father, call me.” I was happy on that day, for a man to lay his hand on my shoulder and say “don’t fear, I’m always with you”. No matter how big you are, if you don’t have someone to check you, chastise or correct you, you won’t last. if you tell me you will report me to Mefu till date, I will be sober and I will calm down, not because of anything but for the utmost respect I have for him, and that also informs why I don’t joke with the family”.
