Yinka Ayefele is in the news again. Weeks back we told you the story of his surgery in Ibadan, now we can tell you that all does not seem to be well in his band if the event of last week is to be followed.
Naijahottestgist learnt that Yinka last week Thursday sacked all his band members and only took them back through the intervention of a senior colleague, Sir Shina Peters. He spoke to both sides for several minutes on the phone and the issue was resolved last Sunday Afternoon. Very close sources to the band however indicate that the peace is very fragile, as both sides are viewing themselves with distrust.
We gather that the main crust of the matter is the refusal of Yinka to increase the salary of the band for the last 5years despite the fact that Yinka’s fees have jumped up more than 300 percent during the period. The band members had approached Yinka through the band Captain last Tuesday for an increment and Yinka had called a meeting for Thursday. It was at the meeting that he thanked members of the band for their services,which he informed them were no longer needed. The band members were shocked and Yinka who had gotten Police men as security had them walked out of his office, venue of the meeting.
The band boys then apporached Sir Shina Peters who spoke to Yinka. As a result of the intervention, he reconsidered his actions and took them back. Now we hear a lot of tension has accumulated in the band. We wait to see how the whole issue will eventually be resolved.
