RMD: Cool, calm and still charming

Richard Mofe-Damijo
Richard Mofe-Damijo is the epitome of cool. Enduringly charming, he welcomed me into his office with that trademark smile that has melted many hearts. Despite his foray into the murky waters of politics, RMD has not allowed his cool factor to slip. Remarkably honest and always happy to discuss movies, literature, theatre, and you guessed right, politics; RMD is one celebrity who is not afraid to articulate his position on any issue.
What I love about RMD, is the fact that he is a complete antithesis to what you might imagine.
How easy has it been making the transition from the creative industry into politics?
Well, it hasn’t been a walk in the park, I must confess. But like every new venture I get into, its a challenge. I guess the circumstances around which I joined politics also made it imperative for me to be at my best. My mentor is the Governor and if you get an opportunity like that, there is a tendency for you to want to burn the midnight candle and surpass your mentor’s expectations of you. I have not let down the guy who has reposed so much confidence in me. This has helped because I went in blazing with all cylinders pumping.
