Nigerian comedian and activist, Freedom Atsepoyi has responded to the heavy backlash he received for supporting Bola Tinubu for president.
As Nigerians look forward to a new government and administration in 2023, many politicians have been indicating interest in running for the seat of power.
Despite his age, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress, APC is one of the aspirant contesting for presidency.
Mr Jollof as he is fondly called has drummed support for the politician by publicly endorsing him.
He wrote :
“What is the problem in Nigeria?
To me it is simple Leadership
A leader knows the Way
A leader will show you the way
A leader will lead the way
That leader is nobody else rather than Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
The activist drew lots of hateful comments with his declaration as many took to his comment section to slam him.
Reacting to it, Mr Jollof urged them to unfollow him as he has the freedom to exercise his fundamental rights.
He stated that he wouldn’t entertain anyone bullying his wife and kids on social media.
“I will not tolerate anyone bullying my wife or kids on/off social media because I exercise my fundamental human right, if you don’t like it kindly UNFOLLOW ME”.
This is coming hours after Nigerian singer and rapper,Speed Darlington attacked him for the endorsement.
Speed went on Instagram live and accused him of being a sell out who can easily be bought by the highest bidder.
The internet sensation stated that the comedian is a fake activist who would endorse for money.
He added that if he offers him a very huge sum of money, he would start campaigning for him.
He further added that Mr Jollof is a man who lacks integrity and that’s why he collects money from anyone in return for his support.
Speed boasted that he can never sell his endorsement to anyone.
