Veteran Fuji musician Adewale Ayuba has again spoken about his decision to embrace Christianity after being raised in a Muslim family, describing the move as a personal spiritual conviction.
Ayuba shared his experience during a recent interview with Agbaletu TV, explaining that his parents were Muslims and that he grew up practising Islam.
According to the Fuji star, his relationship with God had always been important to him, even before he became a Christian. He also disclosed that he frequently incorporated Christian songs and references into his music while still practising Islam.
Explaining what influenced his decision, Ayuba said his love for Jesus Christ was rooted in his belief in the sacrifice Christ made for humanity.
“I just love Christ for the single reason that he died because of me,” he said.
The musician also acknowledged the significance of Prophet Isa in Islam, explaining that he recognised the connection between the Islamic and Christian references to Jesus.
Ayuba’s comments reflect a personal religious journey rather than an attempt to condemn another faith. He has previously explained that he struggled with praying in Arabic and preferred a form of worship through which he felt closer to God.
The celebrated performer has repeatedly maintained that his decision was personal and that people should respect individual choices in matters of faith.
His latest remarks have renewed public interest in the spiritual journey of one of Nigeria’s best-known Fuji musicians.
