If there’s any celebrity now expressing regret for supporting Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election, it’s veteran Nollywood Yoruba actor, Ganiu Nofiu, popularly known as Alapini.
Alapini has openly voiced his regret over endorsing Tinubu, citing the worsening economic hardship and growing insecurity across the country.
In a recent interview, the actor did not hold back his disappointment, also taking a swipe at President Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, in his remarks.
He said; “We had to abandon our work for two months to campaign for Tinubu in 2023. We led the campaign genuinely because of Nigerians well-being and not for personal gain.”
“We supported and committed ourselves to the campaign thinking our Messiah had come because we loved Tinubu following his positive contribution to the industry.”
“And we were not compensated, this is two years of his administration. Probably they are not yet in the right frame of mind to do so.”
“Will Seyi Tinubu say he didn’t see the old actors during the campaigning? We were more than 100, both old and young that campaigned for Tinubu. We walked around campaigning without being given anything for it. We just did all of that out of love.”
“But Seyi is running around the northern part of Nigeria to pay their hospital bills. Aren’t there sick people in Yoruba land (Southwest) too? How many hospitals has he visited in Yoruba land?”
