Popular Yoruba actor, who went to the beach to seek spiritual support for the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election, Olaiya Igwe, has cried out that Nigerians are cursing him over the hardship in the country.
Olaiya Igwe said in a video released on Monday that he has been inaundated with constant curses as a result of the economic woes Nigerians are experiencing.
He added that most of Tinubu’s appointees have failed him adding that the President has failed to put in place an adequate monitoring mechanism for his programmes and policies.
NPO Reports recalls that the popular Yoruba actor had gone to the beach in 2023 ahead of the election naked calling on all the elements to come to the aid of the then APC presidential candidate.
His action at the time had elicited wide condemnations as many asked what could make him go so low in seeking electoral victory for a candidate.
His lamentations in the video is coming days after a similar video emerged where Fuji musician and Tinubu’s loyalist Wasiu Ayinde openly cried out that Nigerians are suffering.
Ayinde, popularly called Kwam 1 had equally expressed regrets that Tinubu’s promises to rejuvenate the economy had not been met.
Ayinde said Nigerians’ hopes had been dashed.
In the video released by Igwe today, he pleaded with Tinubu to re-examine his programes. just as he advised the president to include his son, Seyi in the monitoring team that will oversee the performance of the government policies.
The actor said the volume of the curses being rained on him is too much adding that he has come to accept that he invited the trouble upon himself with his actions.
He however said he has not regretted his support for Tinubu at the time, adding that he was once a beneficiary of Tinubu’s kindness as a result of his health challenge.
The actor said should things continue the way they are, some of the curses being rained on him would also come to the President as well.
