The SGF also called on Nigerians to join hands with the present administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in moving the country forward, saying what the country needed at the moment isn’t rhetorics.

Senator Akume stated this on the sidelines of the 21st Sun awards, which was organised to celebrate Nigeria’s leading lights in all walks of life, held in Lagos on Saturday.

“Great people have been honoured. We have to work together to ensure that this country moves forward and we have a president who is doing all it takes to move us forward. That is what we want, not rhetorics,” he said.

On his part, Prince Abiodun described the Governor of the Year Award as a validation that his administration’s efforts to reposition the state have not gone unnoticed by others.

Abiodun noted that the award was by merit, even as he expressed appreciation to the management of the Sun Newspapers for the honor bestowed on him.

“I am very grateful to the Almighty God for granting me the grace to be here. I am very thankful to The Sun Newspapers for bestowing on us this award.

“It is a validation that some of the things we are doing are being recognized by others. We didn’t have to buy this award.

“I have not seen the proprietor or any member of the board of the Sun, maybe in three years. So, this is definitely by merit,” he said.

Abiodun, while commending President Tinubu for his audacious and bold steps at repositioning the country which has been commended by organizations like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, said that the pains currently being experienced by the Nigerians would soon be a thing of the past.

Prince Abiodun also disclosed that he, alongside his other colleague governors, are behind the president, saying they have all resolved in their capacities to do what they can in their various states to ensure they work together in moving past the difficult period.

How Primate Ayodele Gave Deceased Actor ‘Agbako’ N100K Monthly Till His Death

*How Primate Ayodele Gave Deceased Actor ‘Agbako’ N100K Monthly Till His Death

 

 

In as much as veteran actor, Charles Olumo popularly known as Agbako died at a very old age yesterday, Primate Ayodele is one of those who are not happy that the thespian who graced our screen for decades is no more.

The Nigerian prophet who leads the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has always shown his love for Nollywood practitioners, and this is evident in his several addresses to them. He invites them to his church programmes, supports them financially, prays for them, and seeks more support for them.

Due to his love for Nollywood and respect for the industry’s veterans, Primate Ayodele decided to offer the oldest actor, Charles Olumo, who died yesterday, a lifetime salary of N100,000 monthly starting in July 2023.

The prophet made this announcement at an event held by the Nollywood body TAMPAN to celebrate Charles Olumo’s 100th birthday in Abeokuta. At the event, the Nollywood body also made Primate Ayodele its life patron.

At the event, Primate Ayodele instantly gave the veteran a cheque of N500,000 and promised to place him on a monthly salary of N100,000 till his maker calls him home. Asides that, Primate Ayodele called on the Nollywood body to organize a foundation that would cater for old veterans where he would be able to support them financially.

These were his words:

“I appreciate this group for recognizing me, state national and president. I appreciate your service to the country. I appreciate this group for recognizing me, the state national, and the president. I appreciate your service to the country.

“By God’s grace, I will donate the sum of N500,000 to veteran actor, Charles Oluomo and place him on a monthly salary of 100k till his maker calls him home. Also, I will donate N500,000 to the association for this laudable event.

“I want you to come up with a foundation for the old veterans in the industry and include me in it. They don’t have to become beggars before they feed. This foundation will be responsible for their well-being and God’s willing, I will contribute my quota to it.’’

Primate Ayodele’s announcement to place the veteran actor on salary is what others do too but fulfilling the promise is what they fail to do. Many times, this kind of announcement ends immediately when the microphone is dropped but for Primate Ayodele, he ensured the actor gets what he promised him every month since he made the announcement.

May the soul of Charles Olumo rest in perfect peace.
