Experienced Nigerian actor Ganiu Nofiu, known professionally as Alapini, has expressed regret over his decision to support President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election.

Amid worsening economic challenges and insecurity nationwide, the actor explained that he and many of his peers campaigned for Tinubu due to the president’s previous contributions in Lagos and his influence in the Yoruba film industry.

However, Alapini voiced disappointment over not receiving any recognition or compensation for his efforts.

In a recent interview on African A-List, the actor also raised concerns about why Seyi Tinubu, the president’s son, directs his philanthropic activities mainly toward the northern region of Nigeria, seemingly overlooking 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?”
