Deejay Saquo has dedicated his 2013 Otown Gist Personality of the Year Award which was presented to him on the 10th edition of Star Nite to his late father.
It was an emotional moment for the CEO of Star Nite who in a previous interview with www.otowngist.com said he could not finish his university education at Federal University of Technology due to the death of his dad along the way.
“I actually dropped out of school due to financial crisis. I lost my parents while I was in school and when I couldn’t foot the bills for myself and my siblings, I had to step down for them to continue”

He pointed out his deep appreciation to his fans with this words “Without you, there is no Deejay Saquo, thank you so much for the love and for voting for me”.
