STATE HOUSE VISIT! Small Doctor denies collecting N2 million from President Buhari
Temitope Adekunle, aka Small Doctor, has said himself and other entertainers didn’t collect N2 million from President Muhammadu Buhari during their visit to the State House, Abuja.
The artiste made this known while speaking with Sunday Scoop in response to the claims made by the director of new media for the Peoples Democratic Party, Deji Adeyanju, who recently alleged that Buhari gave some selected entertainers N 2 million each during a visit to the Aso Rock.
Adeyanju had written on Twitter, “So, some youths went to Aso Rock yesterday to see Buhari and collected ‘ thanks for coming’, N2 m each. Very soon, they will start telling us why it is good for Buhari to continue.”
Small Doctor 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 N2 m 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 ?”
