Bet millions of people do not know that ace comedian, Ali Baba whose real name is Atunyota Alleluya Akporobome and former President Olusegun Obasanjo are best of friends despite the comedian cracking jokes using Obasanjo.
To the dismay of many, Ali Baba recently confessed that Obasanjo was the one that gave his comedy business the necessary promotion he needed…
“The ex-President, Obasanjo, wasn’t just promoting me in my comedy business; he recognised stand-up comedy and gave it a boost. After a while, he got used to me and started recommending me for events he attended.”
“A lot of state governors, who used to attend those presidential dinners, used to invite me to their events. For him to have the thick skin to accommodate my jokes about him made them feel comfortable with me.”
