He is one of the very lucky Nollywood stars to grab a government appointment.
Currently a Special Assistant to the Kwara State Governor on Arts, Culture and Tourism, its obvious life has taken a new and polished turn for actor Femi Adebayo Salami.
A talented actor, Femi, who remarried in 2016 to Omotayo has confessed at many fora that meeting his new wife changed his life.
Now, he hobnobs with the rich.
Penultimate week during the introduction ceremony of the Senate President Bukola Saraki’s daughter, Femi put up a photo where he was in the midst of billionaires, Femi Otedola and Aliko Dangote.
The photo reveals the trio at the Ilorin International airport and the actor must have escorted the billionaires to the airport after the Sarakis shindig.
A brand ambassador for quite a number of brands, the firstborn of veteran actor, Adebayo Salami, seems to be having a chummy relationship with Otedola and was sighted at his daughter, Tolani’s music show over the weekend in Lagos.
Nothing wrong having billionaires as a mentor or friend, sources exclusively revealed to Kemiashefonlovehaven that Femi’s new move is aimed at becoming a full-fledged politician.
“He needs all the contacts he can garner now before he makes known his intention. His closeness to the governor has opened doors for him and he is leveraging n that,” a source said.
Femi is also said to be wisely and carefully toeing the path of another actor, Desmond Elliot who is a member of the Lagos House of Assembly.
