All hell was let loose on Nigerian social media on Wednesday afternoon, after it was revealed that bread-hawker turned model, Olajumoke Orisaguna, would be a motivational speaker at the second version of The P.L.A.Y. (Political Management Amongst Youths) event.
The event, which will feature a discussion board, will take place on February 20, at the Transcorp Hilton hotel, in Abuja.
Nigerians simply couldn’t fathom why Olajumoke, who came into limelight as a result of stumbling into TY Bello’s photo-shoot of British rapper, Tinie Tempah- would be serving as motivational speaker.
While the hullabaloo ensued on social media, YNaija reached out to the Chief Executive Officer of P.L.A.Y Forum, Charles Okpaleke, who set the records straight, regarding Olajumoke’s participation in the event tagged: ‘If we were the government’.
During the event- which will have Ondo governor, Olusegun Mimiko as the guest speaker- an inspirational interview would be conducted with Olajumoke Orisaguna, titled- A grass to grace story.
Okpaleke further stressed that contrary to widespread assumption, Olajumoke won’t be serving as a motivational speaker, but would feature in the event through the inspirational interview.
The anchor of the event is Nollywood actor, Ramsey Nouah while the moderators are actress, Kate Henshaw and co-founde Red Media Africa, Adebola Williams.
The Political Leadership Among Youths (P.L.A.Y.) Forum is a body consisting of influential and elite youth in the Nigerian society set up to promote and inculcate youth to engage in matters of the nation.
