Bolatito Sowunmi, aka Miss Pepeye in the family sitcom, “Papa Ajasco,” has quit that role for over a decade.
In a chat with Ademola Olonilua of Punch, Miss Pepeye says its time to take other challenging roles.
She said,
I quit the role of Miss Pepeye because it’s time to move. I had played the role for quite a while and there are other opportunities that I need to explore. I feel I should give other people the chance to express the talent that they have in playing that role as well. I started the character when I was in my 20s but now, I am in my 30s, another person should take up the role.
It was my decision to move on because it was no longer challenging. I need roles that would wake up the artistic talent in me. It had become a comfort zone. I have realized that being Miss Pepeye had cast a stereotype image about my acting skills. It did not really do well with me. I am a serious minded person and when I got the role of Miss Pepeye, I thought I wouldn’t be able to handle the role but over time after adequate training, I did it. It is just very unfortunate that I am being stereotyped.
