Nigerian comedian and social media Influencer, Freedom Atsepoyi, popularly known as Mr Jollof, has said it would be in the interest of South-East and South-South to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

Mr Jollof, who recently made a u-turn and pledged support to the former Lagos Governor after criticising him in the past, disclosed the reasons for his advice in a post shared on Instagram.

According to the comedian, Tinubu does not need South-East and South-South to win the 2023 general election but things would be worse if he does not receive votes from the region.
