Nollywood actor, Ebun Oloyede ‘Olaiya Igwe’ has issued an apology for going unclad m during the election campaign for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a video that has gone viral, Olaiya Igwe claimed he went unclad to support Tinubu following a revelation from his maker.
However, his apology didn’t still seat well in the minds of some Nigerians, who still blasted him.
Recall that Olaiya Igwe made headlines in 2023 during the general election campaign after he went unclad by a seaside to campaign for Tinubu who is now Nigeria’s president.
In a now-deleted video, the movie maker, the brain behind the hit movie Ololade Mr Money, blamed his action during the campaign era on the revelation he received over Tinubu.
Olaiya, in the clip recounted how Tinubu came through for him, especially over his health.
Speaking in the Yoruba language in the video, Olaiya said, “I am using this opportunity to greet everyone listening to me. I am here to talk about Bola Ahmed Tinubu. BAT when he was contesting for President, because of the things he did for me, especially on my health. Revelation came to me that I should do something for him at a certain location and I went and did it. After that, I received lots of curses and insults. But I wasn’t angry with it, because such is life.”
