“Irrespective of what had happened between us recently, I still respect him as a guardian and a mentor. However, life continues. I have my life to live and goals to attain. I will continue to be grateful to him for making me discover my personality.” She added.
The Kannywood actress noted that Adam A. Zango is a father to her and would continue to be. Rahab also hinted that they had separated ways because both of them had different life goals to pursue.
“He is like a father to me and that he continues to be. Moreover, he has a life to live just like I do. The respect is still there, but our paths are different now; we have different goals to pursue.
Rahab also admits that Adam Zango had removed her from one of his movies. She added that his actions did not in any way cause any harm to her career.
“He has the right to pick the people he wants to work with, just as the cast has the right to accept or decline depending on the circumstances at hand.
In the first place, I didn’t lobby to be cast and I didn’t ask to be removed as well, so I have no regret being removed from the film. Like I said earlier, that doesn’t stop me from being an actress.
In the exclusive interview with Daily Trust, Ummi Rahab narrated the reasons behind the crisis between her and her guardian, Adam A. Zango.
“If you follow the social media, I’m sure you will understand what has been happening. I didn’t want to talk about it initially, but what started as a family misunderstanding broke out in the public domain. I didn’t want to say anything and God in his infinite mercies brought in people that I didn’t even know to stand for me throughout the period it became a public topic.
“The issue gradually became so complicated that people of high esteem within and outside the film industry became involved.
“That was what made me make some posts and comments on social media and I didn’t make the comments to discredit or make a joke of anyone.
“Yes, I did confide in some of my close friends that I was having issues with Adam Zango because I had decided to date other young men and perhaps that was why he was jealous.
“A Zango tried to stop me, but when I let him know that I have a life to live and he is just like a father to me, he became agitated. When it became obvious to him that I am determined to live my life according to what I deemed as fit for me religiously and culturally, he did what he did.
