Cultural troupe? Every time the president visits Lagos, a cultural troupe is stationed to welcome him, all at the expense of taxpayers’ money. SMH.

Better sir, I always ask the same question too.
Thanks, Leader

Most don’t know that he heads the cultural troupe in Lagos.
They only know him on TV as Papa Ajasco.
Tinubu invites Papa Ajasco to come over to him
Meanwhile, Legit reported that President Tinubu expressed his humility and closeness to the people once again at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
Tinubu reached out to Papa Ajasco when he spotted him at the Lagos airport.
The incident happened during President Tinubu’s visit to Lagos for the Christmas and New Year’s celebrations in December 2023.
