To make things clear, he took the fan down memory lane to the early days of his career, and how the mention of his dad’s name made people envious of him.

“Politics is played in every country and in every industry, not only Nollywood.
Ask people in other fields. In my early days I was dropped many times too because of my father’s name, it made many envious. But I never gave up”.
