Popular actor and ‘The Johnsons’ star, Samuel Ajibola, who acted as ‘Spiff’ in the television series, has revealed the reason he left the series.
In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Ajibola said he left ‘The Johnson’ because it was time for other challenges, contrary to people’s speculations that he left the television series because of his marriage.
“Some people think that marriage made me leave The Johnsons but that’s far from the truth. It is very important for everyone to have a direction for their lives.
“I believe there is a time and purpose for everything. 10 years is a significant amount of time and I have given all that I can in depicting the ‘Spiff’ character. I realised that my purpose for the show has been fulfilled and it is time for me to do other things.
“My decision had nothing to do with my marital status. My wife was very supportive of my decision. She knows I am very analytical. I am not okay with being in my comfort zone for too long.
“I’m adventurous and I like challenges. My family also gave me their blessings. I know a lot of people might have different opinions about this but I am not moved by that.
“Being Spiff is not the ultimate. I have bigger purposes to fulfil in life and time is of the essence. I have a lot of things in the ‘bag’ and I’m not quitting acting,” he concluded.
His character was an adopted son of the family, who acts and behaves like a child.
