Speaking with PREMIUMTIMES on the choice of Funke Akindele as the event’s co-host, Gbenga said “The choice of Funke Akindele was a no-brainer, she is highly talented and she is no doubt, a role model to many. The youths and adults love her; with Funke, you can never go wrong.
“She has evolved over the years since she came into public consciousness in that popular sitcom ‘I Need To Know’ which was the toast of many at the time”.
He added that “the people of Ibadan would love to have Funke in their midst, we urge them to get their tickets early as they will see another side of the talented “Sulia Kan, Aiyetoro Kan” as many often refer to her.”
