Wizkid‘s father, Mr. Muniru Olatunji Balogun, expressed his gratitude for his own well-being, as well as his affiliation with the All Progressives Congress (APC) party, and the successful music career of his son, Wizkid. In a recent interview with GoldMyne TV, Mr. Balogun expressed joy and thankfulness for being alive and in good shape while his son continues to flourish in his music career.
During the interview, Mr. Balogun also discussed his contributions to the Alaba community, including his successful lobbying for the introduction of electricity in 1972. He revealed that he initially served as the ward Chairman of the now-defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and then became the Chairman of the ruling APC following the merger. He further stated that he held the position of Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Alaba, Lagos for 14 years.
“I came to Ajegunle in 1972. And at that time, there was no light in Alaba. So, I’m the one that went to NEPA and made them come to survey the whole of Alaba and gave them light. So, those are my contributions [to the community]. Also, I’m the Babadeen of Alaba Central Mosque," Mr. Balogun said during the interview.
He also expressed his gratitude for his son's success, saying, “I thank God that I’m still alive and my son, Wizkid is still doing well.”
The interview video was shared on Twitter by GoldMyneTV, and has since garnered positive reactions from fans and followers of the popular Nigerian musician, Wizkid.
