2023: Okey Bakassi Speaks On Getting Money From Politicians, Says Nothing Funny About Nigeria

Nigerian comic actor, Okey Bakassi has backed former Anambra governor and Presidential candidate on the platform of the Labour party,  Peter Obi.

Naija News reports that the father of three via his Instagram on Thursday, revealed that he has made up his mind to focus all his attentions on Peter Obi.

He added that he warned Nigerians about the current president not having the predigree to make Nigeria better, but his warnings fell on deaf ears.

He stressed that the only discussion he wants to partake in is how Peter Obi will win the general elections.

Taking to his Instagram page, Okey Bakassi wrote: “When I was shouting in 2015 & 2019 to anyone who cared to listen that Bubu lacked the pedigree to make Nigeria better, some people refused to listen.

“Today Nigeria is in a mess and we are all suffering it. This 2023 election, it’s my turn not to listen to anyone…it’s PETER OBI for President! I don’t want to listen to anything that is not related to how Peter will win the election, don’t stress me with your political permutations.

“I can pay small attention to you, if you’re talking about other positions like National Assembly, Governor or State Assembly. I don’t want to hear about Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, etc…I don’t want to hear about Christian, Muslim or Witchcraft. If the political discussion is not about how Peter will win, I will not listen.”
