MANY have had encounter with the late
veteran actress, Zainab Bukky Ajayi, but acclaimed Nollywood producer,
Tade Ogidan, is one of those who had the opportunity to work closely
with the icon.
Simply known as OGD, the movie maker revealed that his relationship with the late Bukky Ajayi goes beyond business.
Speaking to The Nation, he stated that
when he got the news, that the deceased had passed on, he could not shed
tears because he had done that a day before, having paid a visit to
her.
“When I got the news, I didn’t shed any
more tears, because I had done that earlier. I quickly rushed down to
her place. While they were trying to clean her up for the burial, they
were guiding people from coming near the corpse, but I told them, that
was not possible. Ni bo, ko le sele. She is my aunty. So I quickly
helped to cover her up, after I had gone into her wardrobe to look for a
befitting cloth,” he recounts.
Aunty Bukky, as she is fondly called by OGD, was said to have gone to lot of places with the producer; including his home town.
“When we travel abroad together, she will say she shouldn’t have come
with me. Tade o fe pa mi, mo ba ma te le. She also helps to clean up on
set, after everyone had left. That is how humble she is. I am yet to
inform my parents that she has passed on,” he said, describing her as a
handful.
