He said leaving the soap opera has re-established him as a producer and director.
Speaking in a recent interview with Channels TV, Ajibola said: “I spent nine years at ‘The Johnsons’ investing into someone else’s dream. Even before leaving, I had already started running DAILY Issues, which is my comedy skits. I started in 2016.
“So I started building up my own thing to become an emerging producer and a director. It got to a point where I felt I needed to take that bold step to leave my comfort zone which everybody already knew that I was doing great. I needed to leave because, naturally, I’m a very adventurous person. And I’m a big risk taker. I was well aware of the risk I was going to take, like I said, I listened to my guts and till date I haven’t regretted it.
“In fact, leaving [‘The Johnsons’] has re-established me and redefined me more as a producer and a director.”
