LAGOS, Nigeria – Popular Afrobeats artist Oluwatosin Ajibade, known as Mr Eazi, has shared details about his father’s career as a pilot for some of Nigeria’s most prominent figures.
Okay News reports that in a recent interview, the singer disclosed that his father, Captain Alexander Olukayode Ajibade, served as a private pilot to former President Olusegun Obasanjo for eight years.
