If anyone had told veteran Yoruba actor, Olaiya Igwe, that a day when he will publicly apologise to Nigerians will come, he would have surely called it a bluff.
You needed to see the authority Olaiya portrayed the day he went naked to campaign for President Bola Tinubu. The confidence was out of this world.
Admits the backlash and criticism, he stood his ground.
Now, barely one year with the Tinubu administration, he has apologised to Nigerians for his unclad video during the campaign.
The Revelation
Before the 2023 elections, the actor shared a video of himself completely nude while praying at a beach for Tinubu’s victory in the presidential election.
The movie star was subjected to criticism and social media attacks over the video.
The actor explained that he went naked for Tinubu during the campaign because the President was there for him when he was ill.
Olaiye also claimed that he got a revelation to go naked at the beach to pray for Tinubu.
However, his actions elicited curses from Nigerians, and now, he is sorry.
But trust Nigerians, many Nigerians have done their own calculations.
The situation in the country is telling on everyone, not even supporters of President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are spared.

In fact, there are videos of some people who supported Tinubu during the election expressing regrets.
In the case of Olaiya, many Nigerians are certain that there is no smoke without fire. There is more to this story than meets the eye.
One day, everything shall come to light.
