Afrobeats star Mr Eazi has revealed that his father once worked closely with top Nigerian figures as a private pilot, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He made the disclosure in a trending interview clip obtained by TVC News Online, where he spoke about his father, Captain Alexander Olukayode Ajibade, and his aviation career.
Mr Eazi explained that his father’s journey in aviation spanned both military and private service, working with influential personalities such as billionaire businessman Mike Adenuga before eventually flying for a former Nigerian leader.
“My dad is a pilot, so you know, he just retired in November. But just seeing him fly around, I think that kind of made me want that freedom. I wanted a life where I could also just fly around,” he said.
He went on to describe how his father transitioned through different phases of his career.
“He was the pilot in the military, and when he retired, he then started to fly for, like, Adenuga. That’s one of the richest men in Nigeria. He had an oil company, and my dad would fly the choppers to the oil rigs and back,” he said.
Mr Eazi added that his father later became the private pilot for Obasanjo.
“And after Adenuga, then Obasanjo became President, my dad was flying Obasanjo for like eight years,” he said.
