In this dispensation that everybody in the political arena is trying to outwit one another, a dirty romance story has just emanated between the Lagos gubernatorial candidate under the platform of the ruling party, People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Jimi Agbaje popularly known as JK and one of the actresses in the Yoruba genre of Nollywood, Folake Shadare-Atie.
Gist has it that, unknown to most people Jimi Agbaje was once in the centre of a sizzling romance with the actress, which resulted in a pregnancy mess.
“A couple of years back, Folake and Jimi became intimately close and in a matter of months, news filtered out that the actress was three months pregnant and the father to be was J.K. Some of Folake’s friends advised her to keep the baby, but J.K would hear nothing of sort.
Folake Shadare Atie who joined the league of actresses who are proud owners of a classic boutique couple of years back located in busy Egbeda-Akwojowo road known as Flaky World is not ashamed of her sizzling romance with the guber candidate.
It was alleged that after much pressure, J.K paid Folake N1.2M to take care of herself but nobody know what later happen to the pregnancy. Meanwhile, weeks after, Folake bought herself a Toyota Jeep, Rav 4. That was more than enough consolation for her part in the relationship I guess.
However, another source revealed that, when it became obvious that Jimi Agbaje would fly the flag of the PDP in Lagos State, Folake became very excited and became the rallying point for the politician within the Yoruba movie world.
“She is the brain behind the ‘Artistes For Jimi Agbaje,’ campaign, she rallied some of her friends for support, though the support was marginal because of the allegiance of most of the cultivated Yoruba movie stars to the APC and its candidate, Mr. Akinwunim Ambode,” said the source.
The Jimi Agbaje’s camp is however denying this romance story, which they believe originated from the APC to not only destroy Jimi Agbaje’s peaceful home, but his chances of been elected in the coming elections.
