Queen Mother Tayo Sobola
Nollywood Actress and Sarauniya (Queen Mother) of the Uke Kingdom Nasarawa, Tayo Sobola has said that many political appointees lacks the ability to read a proper speech.
In an interview with The Nation’s ADENIYI ADEWOYIN, she also a made clarification about her political aspirations.
It was rumoured that you went into politics, can you clear that?
Of course, I will still go into politics when the time is right. I studied public administration in school.
It is believed that entertainers who enter politics end up as Special Assistants to politicians. What is your take on that?
So many people are sitting in a position that they don’t have a certificate for, so what do you expect? I can call names but I won’t. So many SAs but can’t even read a proper speech.
If you as an SA are up to the task, your proprietor would be at peace when they ask you to represent them at important functions.
For instance, Marshal is a lawyer and SA, the person she’s working with can ask her as an SA can say go and represent me because he or she knows Marshal can deliver. But how many of your SAs can represent their bosses, she argued.
