Ayuba who is Popularly referred to as Professor Popotenyen was seen dancing to party music played by DJ ten-ten in the heat of the hot Tuesday afternoon having spent 3 decades of his life living in Auchi Sacred kingdom in harmony with friends and fans who have now metamorphosed into family.

The event drew crowds from different walks of lives as everyone within the area was drawn to the CEO of Zico Arts’ comic relief cum entertaining signature appearance in the character of Professor Popotenyen which has endeared and made him a household name in Edo North’s Movie Industry.

Popotenyen hails originally from Atte in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area and is a self-styled activist as well as an advocate for development as evident in all his calls on government of different era to remember the Atte road in view of bringing succor to the suffering of his people through the construction of assessable roads to his village, Atte.

In his interaction with jeyKAD, Ayuba expressed elation for having lived a lifetime of acceptance and accommodation in a land of peace and hospitality far away from his place of birth and origin.

“I’m very happy that today makes it 30 good years since I entered Auchi on the 14th day of July 1990. Looking back at some of the pictures I took then with friends and colleagues gives me a lot of reason to celebrate as you can see me celebrating. It’s a thing of joy that though I may not be the most God-serving servant of God, I am among the living today as a lot of those I started with in Auchi have passed on.

Furthermore, I am more grateful for the support people of Auchi have shown me in all my endeavors. The Otaru of Auchi Kingdom has in no small measure ensured that I enjoy my stay in Auchi because of the continuous peace and harmony there have been in all my 30years here. Long may he reign in good health and prosperity. I’d also like to specially thank Mallam Lucky Marcus who encouraged me to go to school while doing the works of art I’m known for. His continuous fatherly advice saw me through my tertiary education in Auchi Polytechnic.

The people of Auchi are the most accommodating people I have come across and this has made Auch a home for me to the extent that I married an Auchi women to raise a family with.”

Ayuba also seized the moment to call on all Auchi Sons and Daughters both in Nigeria and abroad to always remember home by driving down ideas, policies, actionable plans and resources that will further place Auchi in her enviable height as the mother of Edo North. He appealed that the Edo state government should as a matter of urgency mobilize towards giving Atte the agelong desired road so that economic activities will run smoothly as farmers from the community will now be able to transport their products on good road networks to Auchi.
