A former Big Brother Naija housemate, Seyi Awolowo, has announced his plans to surpass the achievements of his grandfather, Cheif Obafemi Awolowo.
The actor, in an interview with Punch Newspaper, said nothing will stop him from aspiring to be greater than his grandfather.
According to him, he intended to achieve this by making a mark in the entertainment, marketing and communications sectors.
He said, “I intend to surpass him (Awolowo) even if his legend is legendary but I am going to look at it from my point of view. I am a little bit comfortable in the marketing, communication and entertainment spaces.
“So, let me make a mark in those spaces and see how they contribute to my overall growth. I believe if I am aspiring for any leadership role, I should have made a mark in the industry that I am coming from before branching into other things to make a big difference.
“So, it is just to start small, like they say, a little drop of water makes a mighty ocean, and with time, with the little efforts I put into different sectors; I believe that will propel me into the greatness I deserve.
He added “So, he (Obafemi) saw what he wanted and started going for it one bit at a time until he brought it into actualization. So, that is how I see it and I believe that I will achieve much more than him by God’s grace as I don’t see why I cannot aspire to be much greater than him.”
Furthermore, he said he would use his platform to push for presidential and gubernatorial debates by asking for a better system of selecting political leaders in the forthcoming election year.
