Veteran Actor Bolaji Amusan Popularly Know As Mr Latin Relocates to Osun Due To Downgrading In Ogun State!!

Popular Actor cum Movie Producer, Bolaji Amusan,
popularly known as Mr. Latin, has perfected plans to
relocate to his home state, Osun after living in
Abeokuta, Ogun State for four decades. ENCOMIUM
Weekly was informed by an industry source that the
comic role interpreter's decision to move out of the state he has also contributed to its development,
entertainment wise, was not unconnected with the
alleged marginalization by his colleagues who are
indigenes of the state.

According to the source, what actually triggered Mr.
Latin's action was the recent visit to Governor
Ibikunle Amosun by the Ogun born entertainers,
including Olu Jacobs, Dele Odule, Taiwo Hassan,
Shefiu Alao, Ebun Oloyede, Tunji Bamishigbin,
Dimeji, Soji Taiwo and others, which tactically excluded the famous thespian and Odunlade Adekola,
on account of the fact that they are non-indigenes.

The source said further that the said discrimination
arose because of the group's anticipation of the
governor's largesse, which indeed came to pass as
they reportedly smiled home with about N10 million.

However, the source revealed that the group had
earlier met in Mr. Latin's office before proceeding to
Government House where the governor hosted them
lavishly. But Mr. Latin, whose office was used for
the said meeting, the source disclosed, was not
invited.

Since the incident, the Gbongan, Osun born
comedian, who according to the source, said he could
interpret the handwriting on the wall; hence the
decision to go back home and identify with his own
people.

"Very soon, Mr. Latin will move his family to Osun,
his state of origin. I learnt he has perfected plans to
ensure that is achieved any moment from now.

"What I learnt informed his decision was that other
entertainers who are indigenes of Ogun State have
started excluding him from some important decisions
on entertainment in the state. Even, in December
2013, I learnt they all visited Governor Amosun and
they were given about N10 million. But when they were to share the money, they left out Mr. Latin and
Odunlade Adekola. I learnt the decision didn't go
d own well with Mr. Latin, and he has since made up
his mind to go back to his state.

"Mr. Latin had even paid Governor Aregebsola a
courtesy visit in the bid to facilitate his relocation.
And I learnt he has been negotiating with the
governor on how he could move his foundation office
to Osogbo, capital of the state," the source added.

Confirming the development on Saturday, February 8,
2014, the versatile entertainer said, "Out of every
rumour, there is always an element of truth. But left
to me, there is nothing wrong in flashing back at
one's home. Osun is my state of origin, and there is
no place like home. Whatever step I take, I have reason for it. But all I know is that I have lived in
Abeokuta, Ogun State for 40 years. I came to
Abeokuta in 1974. Since, I have been contributing
my quota to the development of the state, especially
in the aspect of entertainment. The headquarters of
my foundation, my personal office, house and everything I have achieved are in Abeokuta. To cap
it all, I also married from there. That's where I have
been paying my tax without failing. But if I am being
s hown the way out of the state by my colleagues,
that means I have been reminded of where I came
from, and there is nothing wrong in that. Even Odunlade Adekola that was born in Abeokuta is also
being discriminated against. So, what are we
saying?
