APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has disclosed that was once a Disc Jockey (DJ).
The elder statesman who clocked 64 on Tuesday, said he used to be a music buff, especially the jazz genre.
He said: “But then I was an in-house DJ, not a commercial DJ. Teddy Pendergrass was my favourite and I kept myself updated on the music scene in America.”
“I was interested in music. I enjoy music, from the days of James Brown. I told you I followed Roy Chicago to Ado-Ekiti, without knowing. I was just lucky.”
“God just made me a professional because I could have ended up with the late Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister!”
Speaking on the type of music trending in the present generation, compared to his days, he said: “You don’t have music now. You now have O foka sibe, O gbona feli feli. I love listening to jazz a lot.”
Tinubu began his political career as a Senator in the Nigerian Senate, before becoming the Governor of Lagos State, ruling for two terms. (TVC)
