Nollywood veteran Olaiya Igwe discussed why he and some of his colleagues are backing Tinubu in a phone interview with a Nigerian American named Lekan Ogunyemi.
Leading Yoruba actors, including Adebayo Salami, Jide Kososko, and Madam Saje, have come under fire on various social media sites for endorsing Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC’s presidential nominee.
In response to the name callings from some people on social media, Olaiya Igwe in a phone conversation with Lekan Ogunyemi, declared he is a Yoruba man and would not leave Tinubu to support another candidate from another tribe.
Igwe, who spoke in Yoruba said:
“When I was sick, at the point of death, it was Tinubu’s wife Remi Tinubu who took me to the hospital, paid all my bills, was even arranging for US trip for me until I became healthy again”
The Actor reteirated that he would be ungrateful not to support the husband of a woman who came to his rescue when it was needed. Olaiya and Lekan ended up trading abusive words while dragging each other.
