He recently expressed his happiness to be alive and in good health as his son is succeeding in his music during an interview with GoldMyne TV.
Mr. Balogun talked about his services to the Alaba neighborhood, particularly his effective advocacy for the installation of electricity in that community in 1972.
Wizkid’s father said that he had previously said he had been the ward chairman of the now-defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) before merging with the current APC to become its chairman.
He acknowledged having served as the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman 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. And also a former chairman of the APC for 14 years. I thank God that I’m still alive and my son, Wizkid is still doing well,” he said.
