At the movie premiere, Sola paid tribute to Salami for his support towards her over the years. She credited him for helping her get to where she is today.
The veteran actress praised the legend for being a man of action, substance, and giver. Sola stated that Adebayo not only touched her but also touched many people, both dead and alive.
“God used him to take me where I am today. I have never done this in my life, but I am going to do it today. Ese Modupe. I am very grateful.
You did not only touch me but you touched a lot of people both alive or dead, male females, young or old. You touched everybody, you’re a selfless man.
You are a man of action and substance, a giver. Thank you. One thing that I will never forget and have been waiting for the opportunity to say is Mama Wale. You supported him, and that’s why he is standing the way he is today.
You will enjoy the fruit of your labour”.
Over the years, Sola Sobowale has gained more popularity following her role as Eniola Salami in the popular Nigerian movie King of Boy. She has made an indelible mark in the industry and anyone who comes in contact with her always speaks highly of her.
In an interview, Sobowale opened up on why she took a break from the movie industry to do menial jobs. Sola recounted how she had to leave the country and her career to take care of her children who were schooling in the United Kingdom. The ‘King of Boys’ main cast stated that she chose her kids over fame and money.
In another interview, Sola recounted her living experience while she was in the U.K. The talented actress narrated how she would spend over three hours on the road at different bus stops, just to get to work on time and still save money. At some point, Sola said she broke down and cried, due to the hardship she faced while trying to make ends meet.
