Big Brother Naija reality star, Seyi Awolowo has said that he intends to surpass the achievements of his grandfather, late Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

The 32-year-old made this known in an interview with Punch. 

He said “I intend to surpass him (Awolowo) even if his legend is legendary but I am going to look at it from my point of view. I am a little bit comfortable in the marketing, communication and entertainment spaces.

“So, let me make a mark in those spaces and see how they contribute to my overall growth. I believe if I am aspiring for any leadership role, I should have made a mark in the industry that I am coming from before branching into other things to make a big difference.”

Seyi stated further that he had no reason not to aspire to be greater than his grandfather.

“So, it is just to start small, like they say, a little drop of water makes a mighty ocean, and with time, with the little efforts I put into different sectors, I believe that will propel me into the greatness I deserve.

“So, he (Obafemi) saw what he wanted and started going for it one bit at a time until he brought it into actualization. So, that is how I see it and I believe that I will achieve much more than him by God’s grace as I don’t see why I cannot aspire to be much greater than him” Seyi said.

The actor was the 4th runner up in the Pepper Dem edition of the popular reality show.
