• Olaiya Igwe seemingly apologized to those who were offended by his video, stating that he got a revelation, where he was asked to go to the beach and pray for Tinubu’s win.

Veteran Nigerian filmmaker cum actor Ebun Oloyede, popularly known as Olaiya Igwe, has revealed why he went naked at the beach to pray for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 general elections.

The actor, in a viral video shared on his Instagram page was seen naked, praying for Tinubu’s victory at the beach.

In a more recent video shared on Instagram, Olaiya Igwe expressed regret to all who were offended by his actions at the beach, stating that it was due to an instruction he received.

The actor also described Tinubu as his benefactor for saving his life after he was diagnosed with nephrolithiasis (Kidney Stones).

Olaiya Igwe said he knows a lot of criticism would follow his action but he went on to do it because of the revelation. The actor who spoke in Yoruba said in part:

“…Because of things he has done for me, health wise and I received a revelation to pray for him at the beach, which I did. I was criticized and cursed after I did but I didn’t care. I wasn’t annoyed with him(Tinubu), neither did I react negatively to him, I knew the criticism was inevitable because I am a much loved actor.

People who didn’t expect my actions must have been shocked, wondering why I did what I did. I know the criticism would have come from Bola Tinubu’s rival parties.”
