In front of the upcoming election, Nigerian comedian Ayo Makun, widely known by his stage as AY, has revealed why some of his coworkers are slaves to dread.
On February 25, elections for the National Assembly and the presidency are scheduled.
The comedian claimed in a tweet on Wednesday that most celebrities are afraid of being ‘blacklisted’ or attacked by thugs and so refrain from publicly endorsing political candidates.
In addition, he encouraged Nigerians to stop putting pressure on them.
“Most celebs have become slaves to fear during elections,” he said.
“Whenever they publicly take a stand on any political candidate of their choice, they are either ‘Blacklisted or attacked by clueless thugs who would do anything to secure their own interests.
“Stop putting them under pressure.”
AY also blamed ‘bad leaders’ as the reason Nigerians will continue to emmigrate in huge numbers to other nations.
He said, “Nigeria will continue to produce a JAPA generation, not because our land is without milk and honey, but because of evil leaders who usually get into power to gather as much as they can gather for themselves, and then look on and do nothing.
”So-called biggest inspirations all of them join.”
