The home of recently married actress, Foluke Daramola and activist,
Kayode Salako is under fierce attack. A lady journalist and founder of
Lady of Africa Empowerment and Advocacy Foundation, Bukola Fasuyi, who
claimed she introduced Foluke to the husband, Kayode, has come out to
reveal the marriage was built on deceit and lies. But in a swift
reaction, Kayode Salako in an interview with E24-7 MAGAZINE’s BIODUN
KUPOLUYI said, ‘‘Bukola is a devil’s agent and please don’t mind her.
Yes,
she introduced Foluke to me but she should step aside now that we are
married. She claimed Foluke is using juju on me, but you know what? If
that is true, I, Kayode Salako will know. I’m a real man. But if truly
she’s using Juju, I need more of her juju, you know why, she has added
value, brought me a lot of blessings.
He recalled how she met
Bukola who introduced her to Foluke. “Yes, when I came back from abroad,
I met Bukola, then I was lonely, my life was boring and we met. I liked
her because she was so passionate about my Fasholamania’s project, she
showed a lot of enthusiasm and we got so close, it was at a time my wife
was very boring, so I asked her out, but she declined. She told me that
she liked me but she would not date me for two reasons: one that her
intentions will be misconstrued, two, it will be a burden on her that
she will love me to the extent that she would love to marry me but
that she had a friend, an actress, that she’s different from the pack.
She gave her name as Foluke Daramola. Really, I never believed her that
she could introduce Foluke to me. She’s one of the very few actresses I
admired.
Eventually, we met at Mama’s Place. Shortly after she
called Foluke to join us and she did. We had fun, wined and dined
together. That was all that night. The rest as they say is history. I
don’t know why she’s into this campaign of calumny now. Why call Foluke
names? What has she done to her? If Foluke is into juju, she should be
a millionaire like some of her colleagues whose lifestyles are well
known to us. I met Foluke a poor girl with her sanity and pride
intact. I don’t know what she wants from all these. Foluke’s life is an
open book and I like it. I have taken my decision and the action to
live the rest of my life with Foluke and I’m ready to face the
consequences of my action.
Foluke not bemused responded. “ I have
chosen not to talk but I respect you and your medium and I want to
assure you that at the appropriate time, I will grant you an interview.
Yes, Bukola came to me, she told me about her project and that she
needed money. She believed I have so much that I should be given her
now. But there is one thing about me; my life is an open book. I will
not respond more than that. Let her go ahead with her tales. I know I
have done no wrong. I appreciate the fact that she introduced me to
Kayode but that does not mean she has to continue to call the shot. It’s
just important she steps aside now that we are married. That should not
hurt.”
Apparently full of biles, Bukola disclosed that Foluke
has really offended her. She alleged that she went too far in the
romance that led to the marriage. “Foluke is an ungrateful element to
me. I actually introduced her to Kayode, who, for a very longtime was
my toaster but I told him I could not date him because I was not really
interested and there was really no feeling for him. I told him I was not
really interested because I was in a relationship. About the same time,
Foluke had asked me to introduce her to someone who could help, so I
introduced Kayode to her. I know he spends a lot on women, at least, he
was dating a lady Princess Bimbo Olagunju, and he was spending so much
to keep the girl. The same Princess knew how much Kayode liked me but I
was not interested. So precisely February 13, 2012, I introduced Foluke
to Kayode at Mama’s Place in Omole, Ikeja.
I remember that I
met Kayode during the hey days of Fasholamania, his campaign project
for Governor Babatunde Fashola. I believed in the project and I knew he
was committed to it not because he was getting any money. Anyway, Kayode
and Foluke met, they were supposed to date each other but I never
advised her to go and destroy Kayode’s home built over 15 years. I know
Kayode dated Princess Abimbola currently in Dublin, but she never
ventured to destroy his home.
They dated for about five years,
yes, the wife knew, the heat was so much. They had issues about that but
it never got to marrying him and sending his wife away. Princess knew
Kayode wanted me, she knew I could displace her but I remained his
friend. But because he was always telling us about his home, the areas
his wife failed, Foluke worked on it and the result is the marriage
which I advised her not to go into. I have conscience, fine as a
friend, I wanted the best for my friend (Foluke), but I know she
threatened the home of Kayode, she was calling him at home at odd times,
telling him how much she loved him. The next day after they met, he
sent N100, 000, that week, he sent more money, about N500,000. The money
came at a time Foluke had accommodation problem in Marwa’s Garden, so
he secured an apartment for her.
“At a point, I called Foluke
that why had Kayode’s wife barely left her home that you started to
sleep in his Omole house? I tried to advise her that she should not
marry the guy, that all she should do was get his assistance; I told her
she should put herself in the wife’s shoes. Since she realised I was
advising her, she withdrew from me, she started to avoid me. Yes, he
was having issues with his wife but that was not enough to move in. On
few occasions, he insisted he was still in love with his wife. I
strongly advised her against such moves but she went ahead with the
marriage plans. I remember that even while dating Foluke, he had issues
with her, he complained about her lifestyles, that she was a fraudster
bla, bla, but as a true friend I have to step in. Kayode had wanted to
go away.
‘‘… Yes, I know all she did that the marriage eventually
came up, I was actually with her to those places, yes, we went together
and I’m waiting for her response and if she responds or denies my
claim, then I will go all out to fight her. I’m ready to release all the
pictures of the places we went together. I’m fighting her because she
does not have conscience at all, I’m fighting her because she’s a
desperado, I’m fighting her because she’s an ungrateful element. I
never collected any money for introducing her to Kayode, ask her if I
did but I told her ‘don’t marry this guy, think about his home.’
‘‘Now
I’m worried, my conscience is troubling me, I’m worried about the fact
that I was indirectly or directly involved in the circumstance that led
to the break of Kayode’s marriage. I don’t think Foluke should have gone
this far, there are many factors involved, it was not ordinary and I
want to tell the world that she does not deserve that man, I want to
tell the world that I’m sorry that I did this to him and his family. I
never advised Foluke to marry him; I just wanted him to help her out of
her stormy life. I owe Kayode’s wife an apology and I know that I will
go to her and say sorry soon. But before then, I owe it a duty to tell
the world Foluke does not deserve Kayode and as the friend that
introduced her to him, I’m sorry.’’
Asked why she’s spilling the
bean, now. She said “I just want the world to know the role I played
that I merely introduced her to Kayode to assist her, not to marry him.
“Yes,
the wife made some mistakes too; I’m putting all these in a book I’m
writing soon. It’s not enough for you to decline the advice or
suggestions of your husband on how he wants you as his wife to dress.
Why should the wife turn the hubby’s invitation to go out together down?
Her claim that she’s a pastor and not cut out to live a life in the
social circuit leaves room for the other women to step in. For Kayode,
he got carried away, he loves the fact that Foluke brings him to
spotlight, that makes him a newsmaker of sorts.
But don’t you think you are guilty too? “Yes, I know I’m guilty, that’s why I’m saying I’m sorry.”
BUKOLA
