Mr. Romaric Boso, a France-based show promoter and founder of ‘One Benin Fiesta’, has slammed the French embassy in Nigeria for over the denial visa to renowned singer Adekunle Temitope known by the stage Small Doctor.
Boso said Small Doctor was due to perform in France as part of the music artiste’s Europe Tour. However, the French embassy in Nigeria denied him visa on the suspicion that he would not return if granted visa.
Boso said the ground for the visa rejection is laughable as apart from being a household name in France, the headline artist, Small Doctor is a renowned entertainer in the African entertainment scene. So, there was no basis for any suspicions about the artist and others returning to their base after the show.
Boso also said that despite his reputation as one of the registered show promoters in France, he’s having difficulties getting visas for artistes billed to perform at his One Benin Fiesta show initially scheduled for July 6, 2024, but now shifted to August as a result of the difficulty in securing visa for the artistes billed to perform.
According to Boco, the headline artiste for the One Benin Fiesta is Small Doctor who is expected in France alongside others including a Disc Jockey (DJ) and others.
Providing relevant documents to back up his claims, Boco said that he followed due process. And did everything that was required by the French embassy in Nigeria.
