Actor Abiodun Ayoyinka has revealed the struggles he has faced since gaining fame as the iconic Papa Ajasco.
Speaking in an interview with media personality Lucky Udu, he said, “The major problem why people are not seeing me where they are supposed to see me is cause that particular character (Papa Ajasco) has been registered by Wale Adenuga and anybody that wants to use me outside with the character has never been easy on me.”

He added, “I don’t have the right to use the name Papa Ajasco unless I go and take permission. I can’t even use the costume and cause of this I have had limited opportunities because people would want to use me as Papa Ajasco and not Yinka.”
Reflecting on his personal life, Ayoyinka admitted, “Things have never been okay for years back now, I don’t even have a car of my own or even a house.”
