In an interview with TVC ‘Your View’ host, Morayo Brown, he revealed that he was commanded to do it spiritually.
According to him, a voice spoke to him while he slept, and told him to prove his love for Asiwaju by going naked and praying for him.
“I was asked to stand up and do it spiritually. I have a gift of revelation by Almighty God.
Sometimes I see what God plans for me ahead before it happens.
I was sleeping that day and a voice came to me and said, “Please stand up! You said you love Asiwaju and he has been assisting you and I said yes.
The voice told me to stand up and go do it”, he said.

Recall that Olaiya had earlier defended his actions with an excuse that, Tinubu’s wife helped him during his trying times.
In a video uploaded by Punch, the actor could be seen in a phone conversation, where he addressed the controversial video.
According to him, Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu took care of him when he was ill. and even offered to fly him out of the country for treatment.
“The time I was sick, Remi called Ajala Jalingo to take me to Ikeja Teaching Hospital that they should take care of me and on the third day, she called and ask me if I have American visa and if I don’t have visa, they should quickly arrange it for me. So her husband will now come out for a position and I won’t support?”.
