The seasoned Nigerian actor Ganiu Nofiu, better known by his stage name Alapini, has expressed sorrow over his choice to support President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential race.

The actor, who made this statement in the midst of the nation’s increasing economic hardship and insecurity, clarified that his prior contributions in the Yoruba film industry and Lagos led him to campaign for Tinubu with hundreds of his colleagues.

The actor apologized for not receiving payment or recognition for his work.

In his most recent interview on “African A-List,” Alapini also asked why the philanthropic endeavors of President Seyi Tinubu’s son, who is from the Northern region of the country, “neglect the southwest.”

He said, “We had to abandon our work for two months to campaign for Tinubu in 2023. We led the campaign genuinely because of Nigerians well-being and not for personal gain.“

“We supported and committed ourselves to the campaign thinking our Messiah had come because we loved Tinubu following his positive contribution to the industry.“

“And we were not compensated, this is two years of his administration. Probably they are not yet in the right frame of mind to do so.“

“Will Seyi Tinubu say he didn’t see the old actors during the campaigning? We were more than 100, both old and young that campaigned for Tinubu. We walked around campaigning without being given anything for it. We just did all of that out of love.“

“But Seyi is running around the northern part of Nigeria to pay their hospital bills. Aren’t there sick people in Yoruba land (Southwest) too? How many hospitals has he visited in Yoruba land?”
