Taye Currency, a renowned Fuji musician from Ibadan, shared how the late former Oyo State governor, Christopher Alao-Akala, financially supported him by contributing N99 million to his 2011 gubernatorial campaign.
This revelation surfaced during Taye Currency’s performance at the December 27, 2023 Oshodi Day event, where he was one of the guest artists.
Christopher Alao-Akala, who has been both praised and criticized for his generous lifestyle, was lauded by Dr. Kola Balogun, his campaign Director-General during the 2015 governorship re-election under the Labour Party.
Balogun described Akala as a natural philanthropist, nicknamed “ATM” by many due to his giving nature.
He emphasized that Akala’s governance ensured prosperity for the people, putting money in their pockets.
