Nollywood actor goes ‘naked’ at beach, prays for Tinubu

Veteran Nollywood Yoruba actor, Ebun Oloyede, popularly known as Olaiya Igwe, has gone naked at the beach to pray for the emergence of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, in the 2023 general election.

Oloyede has since declared his support for Tinubu ahead of the 2023 polls.

The famous actor was seen in a now-viral video praying fervently for the former Lagos State Governor to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

Taking to his official Instagram account to post the video of himself, Oloyede said: “It is my pleasure to support a candidate who truly reflects our values and highest ideals. There is one candidate in this election who will protect that dream.

“One leader who will fight hard to keep the promise of Nigeria for the next generation. And that’s why we must stand up and make Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Jagaban the next president of Nigeria.”

The video, however, elicited reactions from social media users with many condemning the act as “totally wrong, shameful, and uncalled for”.
