first lady, Tiwa Savage while DJ Jimmy Jatt, DJ Secxy and DJ Code showed their
skills on the wheels of steel.
“This is one thing that I have strived hard to achieve. I
won’t lie to you, it has been a herculean task owing to several reasons but we
thank God that with our formidable team, we have kicked off,” said Gbenga Adeyinka,
who disclosed that the next stop after Ibadan will be on May 29, 2017 in Akure,
Ondo State.
“I have always wanted to bring out the best of comedy in the
South West, knowing fully well that comedy is deeply rooted in this region from
the days of our fathers who are without doubt legends of the trade, hence my
decision to go on a tour of the region with my friends in the entertainment
world.”
One of the highlights of the show was the post humous honour
bestowed on one of the South West’s famous comic, late Oladokun Muftau,
popularly known as Alaran, whose wife and daughter were present at the show.
“One of the things we strive to achieve with Laffmattazz is
honour popular comedians in the region, who were mostly actors,” said Gbenga
Adeyinka, adding that, “this we have done from Baba Sala to Baba Ajimajasan and
a host of others.”
