national appeal in late 2003,
further said "We owe it to our
fans to clear the air on this
matter. In the process of
working towards a collective
vision and in this vein, Tunde
Akinsanmi has decided to pursue
a solo career and delve into other
ventures that are not Styl-Plus's
priority at the moment".
The statement further added,

go on as usual: Shifi and Zeal will

weeks.
"We thank all the fans and media
