How I Formed, Invited Eedris Abdulkareem To Join ‘The Remedies’ – Eddy Remedy

Veteran singer and former member of The Remedies, Eddy Remedy, has stated, contrary to his ex-bandmate Eedris Abdulkareem’s assertion, that he was the sole founder of the now-disbanded group.

In a recent podcast interview, Eedris Abdulkareem asserted that he and Eddy were the founding members of The Remedies and that they reluctantly accepted Tony Tetuila into the group after meeting him at a show in Ilorin, Kwara State.

However, during a recent interview with Daddy Freeze, Eddy Remedy clarified that Tetuila did not join the group in Ilorin. Instead, Tetuilla was introduced to him in his Lagos apartment by Abdulkareem.

Eddy also revealed that Eedris Abdulkareem had collected money from Tetuila’s parents, debunking an age-old rumour that Tetuila’s parents had sponsored the group.

His words: “That boy (Eedris Abdulkareem) is a greedy boy. He has always been greedy. I formed the group and invited him into the group. The day he was coming, he brought Tony [Tetuila]. I had never met Tony in my life. I just saw a guy limping behind him.

“When they got into my room, I asked him, ‘Who is this man?’ He now introduced Tony, saying that he had been with him all this time. That was when Eedris was supposed to tell me that Tony’s parents had given him some money, and he told them that he would take him wherever he was going.

“He didn’t tell me that. The rumours first started when we were on tour that Tony’s parents were sponsoring the group. No, they were not sponsoring the group. I had $5,000 that my parents sent to me from America in 1997. They sent me that money to come and meet them since I had graduated, but I insisted that I stay back in Nigeria to pursue my music.

“I used that money to sponsor the group throughout that period.”

Actress Dakore Egbuson-Akande has denied allegations of an extramarital affair with Senate President Godswill Akpabio

The rumors, which surfaced in a recent viral report, alleged Egbuson-Akande was one of Akpabio’s “side chicks.”

In a statement on her official Instagram page, Egbuson-Akande described the allegations as “wicked lies” and expressed shock and disappointment.

She categorically denied ever meeting Akpabio, stating that she has never been in the same room with him.

Egbuson-Akande, who is married with two children, also challenged the perpetrator of the rumor to come forward with evidence, offering a N5 million reward.

She emphasised commitment to protecting her reputation and threatened legal action against those responsible for the false allegations.

“I saw text messages and calls this morning, alerting me to a very wicked lie from the pit of hell. I must say that I’m very disappointed, shocked and appalled. And I want to categorically state that I have never ever met the Senate president in my life.

“I have not had any cause to be in the same room with him, not to talk of being his side chick. I’m happily married with two beautiful children. So for a jobless, wicked blogger to decide to put my name amongst women who have been with this man is totally wicked and unfounded.

“It is a lie and I am ready for any legal action because, at this point, you have messed with the wrong person. I keep to myself, mind my business, I drink water and I do my work. So for someone to want to tarnish my hard-earned name and image for some clicks, no way.

“I’m not going to accept it or going to be quiet about it. I want to put it out there. Anyone who can provide video or audio evidence that I have been with this man, I would give you N5 million right now,” she wrote.
