Veteran actor Abiodun Ayoyinka, renowned for his decades-long portrayal of the iconic “Papa Ajasco” character, has officially announced a comprehensive rebranding of his public identity.

In a video shared via his Instagram page on Saturday, the entertainer formally introduced his new stage name, Bondu Alaska, marking a definitive break from the persona that made him a household name across Nigeria.

The transition follows a period of public friction between the actor and Wale Adenuga, the founder of Wale Adenuga Productions.

The dispute centred on Ayoyinka’s recent claims of financial hardship and subsequent clarifications from Adenuga regarding the restricted use of the trademarked “Papa Ajasco” brand.

While the veteran actor previously suggested he was struggling, Adenuga countered those claims as misleading, noting that the performer had received significant incentives, including vehicles, over the years.

In his viral announcement, the actor expressed profound gratitude to the public for the support shown following his recent interviews.

Declaring himself a “new person,” he promised his audience that he would not let them down under this new chapter of his career.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, good morning Nigerians. My name is Bondu Alaska. The one and only Bondu Alaska,” the veteran entertainer declared in the viral clip on Saturday.

“I want to use this medium to thank Nigerians because they have done a lot in my life. I’m a new person now, and I promise that I will not let you down”.

To solidify the change, he has updated his social media presence to reflect the @bondualaska_ handle, inviting fans and corporate brands to engage with him through this fresh identity.
