When a former Director of New Media for the Peoples Democratic Party, Deji Adeyanju, recently revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari gave some selected entertainers N2m each during a visit to Aso Rock in Abuja, it raised eyebrows.
Adeyanju had written on Twitter;
“So, some youths went to Aso Rock yesterday to see Buhari and collected ”˜thanks for coming`, N2m each. Very soon, they will start telling us why it is good for Buhari to continue”¦”
However, while speaking with Sunday Scoop, Temitope Adekunle, aka Small Doctor, said he didn`t collect such money from the President and he didn`t think any other entertainer did also. He said;
“I am not aware that the President gave anyone N2m. I was only invited to Aso Rock during the Ramadan period, which I honoured. Have you asked Sound Sultan or Kunle Afolayan and they said Buhari gave us N2m each. Well, I don`t know if they gave anyone but I didn`t collect such money.”
According to him, it was like a dream come true for him to dine with the number one citizen of Nigeria. He added;
“I have always worked hard and my hard work is paying off. I felt humbled and privileged meeting Mr. President. Looking at where I used to be, there has been a major turnaround in my life. Do you remember I was once a bus conductor?”
