Saheed disclosed this via a post on his X account at the weekend.
He appreciated the founder and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Fresh FM Nigeria, Dr. Yinka Ayefele, for giving him an opportunity to serve in his station for 11 years.
Mr Sport said he will be joining Success 105.3FM, owned by Dr. Tope Odetayo from the beginning of 2024.
“I’m very excited and looking forward to work with the amazing team we’ve put together over the last few weeks. I’m very grateful for the love and support of my friends and colleagues here and I’m looking forward to more partnerships and collaborations,” he wrote.
It was gathered that three other notable presenters from the station– Akinwale Fasasi, popularly known as Wiseman, Adesina Jagunmade, aka Paj1, and Oyetayo Oladimeji, also known as ‘MC Handsome,’ will all join Mr Sport at Success FM.
Paj1, it was learnt, has been appointed as the new General Manager of Success FM.
