Nollywood actor Olaiya Igwe is facing backlash from netizens after issuing an apology to Nigerians for a controversial video where he prayed for Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President. Last year, Igwe gained attention for a video where he was nude, praying for Tinubu's success in the 2023 elections.
In a now-deleted Instagram video, Olaiya apologized, attributing the act to a revelation he received regarding Tinubu. He mentioned the assistance he received from Tinubu, especially concerning his health, as the motivation behind the video. Despite facing insults and curses from Nigerians, he expressed understanding, stating that such reactions are part of life.
However, netizens are slamming the actor for the apology, questioning the appropriateness of his actions and the sincerity of his apology. The controversy highlights the intersection of celebrity influence, politics, and public opinion in Nigeria.
