“It was God that told me to go to the beach naked to campaign for Tinubu. I do not regret campaigning for him” – Actor Olaiya Igwe

Actor, Olaiya Igwe has stated that he doesn’t regret campaigning for President Bola Tinubu and that if he had another opportunity, he would still do it again. 

Recall that weeks before the presidential election, Olaiya went to the beach naked to offer prayers for Tinubu to succeed in the election. He suffered serious backlash as many felt his action was unbefitting of an actor who is well respected in his industry.

On February 5 this year, he released a video apologising to people offended by his action. The actor and producer explained that he did it because Tinubu was there for him when he was ill, and afterwards he got a revelation to go naked at the beach to pray for him.

In the fresh interview, Olaiya said he doesn’t regret his action in campaigning for Tinubu.

 ‘’Some people claim my apologising for going to the beach meant that I regret campaigning for Tinubu. I do not regret campaigning for Tinubu. If I have another opportunity to do things that I can to make Tinubu win the election again so that this country will become better, I will do it. I do not regret it at all”
