Weeks ago, Nollywood producer cum actor,
Samuel Ajibola kicked off his widely anticipated series, ‘Dele Issues’, with a
special episode featuring former president, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Ajibola,
who is popularly known as Spiff in the sitcom, ‘The Johnsons’ told Inside
Nollywood how he was able to get the ex-president to feature in his production.
He says: “Well, it didn’t take much time, when God wants to bless you, it just
happens all of a sudden, and before you know it, things would just start
working faster for you. We were at the center of Obasanjo’s rally then. He
wanted to do the 2017 youth dialogue, which was four months ago. He was going
to be the father of the day while I was the host for the event. I just pitched
the idea to my management team and told them I wanted to do this as my little
contribution to the growth of the youth. I was ready for the worse. I had
already programmed my mind for anything, but when I met him, he loved the
idea.”
Ajibola also disclosed how
he felt standing in front of the former president to ask for such an enormous
request.
He said, “I have always been a confident person from time. That’s
how I grew up, that was how my father trained me to be. I’m the first child and
I have a lot of responsibilities, so I always have to be bold and prepared. I
know what it is to be bold when the need be and it worked for me.”
