Nigerian comedian, Freedom Okpetoritse Atsepoyi best known as Mr Jollof, laments being ‘used and dumped’ by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) during the election.
In a recent Instagram video, Mr. Jollof, a former ardent supporter of President Bola Tinubu and the APC, announced this.
According to the comedian, he shifted his support to the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) vice presidential candidate for the 2023 elections, Ifeanyi Okowa, a former governor of Delta State.
He came across a Bible passage that stressed the value of correcting one’s errors, and that’s when he decided to switch.
In a sarcastic manner, Mr Jollof mocked Nigerians about the current fuel price hike and the general economic hardships they are facing. He claimed that he had warned the citizens to stop supporting the APC after his defection, but unfortunately, his advice was not taken seriously by many.
In his words:
“I support Tinubu from the beginning but when I see the tigers wey dey with am and when I see the way say this people they are users. They used me. APC used me.
“But thank God, when I read the book of Luke 15:1-32, I know say the parable of the lost son na when you don commot from your papa house and you don fall short of his glory, you go go back to your papa. I now went back to [Ifeanyi] Okowa. Okowa hugged me and kissed me.
“And come back come tell una say this Tinubu walker, this world before una, I was. But una say I dey talk anyhow. But how far? Who dey buy fuel N617 now? E touch everybody.”
