Happy times are here for Fuji music star, Wasiu Alabi, otherwise known as Pasuma as his daughter, Opeyemi, on Wednesday got enlisted in the US Navy amid celebrations from friends and family.
An elated Pasuma has never hidden his love for Opeyemi whose name is seldomly mentioned in his father’s songs, especially in a manner that suggests that he shares a special bond with his daughter.

Sharing the good news on his Instagram page, Pasuma described Opeyemi as one daughter who has continued to make him and her mother proud, saying he has never doubted her ability to excel in her chosen field.
Pasuma shared photograph of his daughter wearing the US Naval uniform with the message, “Congratulations to me, my girl is a Naval officer now in the US. Opeyemi La’merica, congrats, my dearest daughter. You always make me and your mum proud.”
