Wizkid's dad stated:

"I came to Ajegunle in 1972. And at that time, there was no light in Alaba. So, I’m the one who went to NEPA and made them come to survey the whole of Alaba and gave them light. So, those are my contributions [to the community].
"Also, I’m the Babadeen of Alaba Central Mosque. And also a former chairman of the APC for 14 years. I thank God I’m still alive and my son, Wizkid is still doing well."
