Actor John Okafor aka Mr Ibu has cleared the air on the purpose of his visit to the campaign team of presidential aspirant Bola Tinubu.
In a video uploaded on Instagram on Saturday, the veteran said he visited the team because they wanted him to assist them in some of their operations and not to win him over to their side.
Ibu further stated that his alligance is with Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and not Tinubu.
“I am a completely independent person in the area I perform, I am a comedian, a musician and an actor. I don’t know why this is going round like this. I have never run any sideways. From time it has been me and Atiku all this while. He has been taking me to places and if Atiku is contesting for president, certainly because he has done a lot of things for me, there was a time he changed a house for me. He is like a father to me. He is contesting for president under PDP.
“Atiku is my candidate, these are my people, anybody I visited is simply because I’m an actor and they want me to assist them one way or the other in whatever they are doing. That does not mean I abandoned them. I did not,” he said.
A video that went viral on Friday, shows the actor and some of his colleagues like Foluke Daramola, Harry Anyanwu and Benedict Johnson in a meeting with members of APC and Tinibu’s campaign team.
This sparked reactions as many accused them of collecting money from the presidential candidate to endorse him for president.
