The popular Yoruba actor, Ebun Oloyede, professionally known as Olaiya Igwe has explained why he went naked at the beach to pray for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The Nollywood actor said it was a spiritual calling, explaining that a voice had directed him to proceed to the beach to pray for the APC chieftain.
While granting television interview, Oloyede said: “I was asked to stand up and do it spiritually. I have a gift of revelation from Almighty God. At times, I see what God planned for me ahead before it happens. I was sleeping that day and the voice came to me and said, please stand up, you said you love Asiwaju and he has been assisting you. I said yes. Stand up, go and do this for him.”
The Informant247 earlier reported that the actor, Olaiya Igwe, has gone naked at a beach, praying for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The talented actor could be seen in a video, shirtless praying for the electoral success of the APC chieftain.
The veteran actor has however said he does not need to apologize to anyone for the action
“It was an intentional action because I listened to the voice that asked me to do so and I have no regret. I can do anything to support Asiwaju as long as I believe this thing has nothing to do with any other person, I can do it to any length,” he said.
He has falsified the claim that he was given money for carrying out the act, saying he deliberately took the decision.
“I deliberately recorded that event for people to see. It is not because of money,” the veteran actor cleared the air.
