I Didn’t Relocate To Ibadan For Political Reasons, Saheed Balogun Clears The Air

Veteran actor, Saheed Balogun has cleared the air on the
rumours that he has relocated to Ibadan and now lobbying for a post in the
cabinet of the re-elected Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi. According to him,
that he lives in Ibadan now does not mean he has relocated to Ibadan.  I’m actually from Ibadan he said. He also
stated that he only supported Governor Ajimobi during his campaign because he
knows he can do it. Below is what he told Encomium Magazine;

‘‘I don’t understand what you mean by lobbying Ajimobi for
political offer. That can’t be true. It’s just what some people are imagining
because of my relationship with him. They don’t even know we are from the same
place. He’s from Ibadan South East where I am also from. Former Governor
Rashidi ladoja is also from Ibadan South East. But during the Governorship
Campaign, I decided to support Ajimobi, not because I wanted anything from him
but because I knew he could do it.

I didn’t relocate to Ibadan for political reasons. The fact
is that I have been in Ibadan for some time now. However, that doesn’t mean I
have relocated home permanently. ‘’ I am from Kobomoje family in Ibadan where
late Architect layi Balogun was from. He vied for the presidential ticket of
the defunct social Democratic party (SDP) alongside late MKO Abiola in 1992.
