APC used me – Comedian, Mr Jollof shares

Mr. Jollof, the Nigerian comedian whose real name is Freedom Okpetoritse Atsepoyi, has disclosed that he felt used and abandoned by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The internet sensation, originally from Warri, expressed that he was a staunch supporter of President Bola Tinubu and the APC. However, he had a change of heart after encountering a biblical passage that emphasized the importance of acknowledging one’s mistakes.

As a result, he decided to switch camps and align himself with the former Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, who is the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections.

Taking a light-hearted jab at Nigerians in light of the current fuel price hike and the overall economic challenges, Mr. Jollof revealed that he had cautioned the public to stop supporting the APC after his defection. However, he felt that not many people heeded his advice seriously.

The comedian’s comments were shared in a video that has been circulating on the internet

Speaking in Pidgin English, Mr Jollof said, “I support Tinubu from the beginning but when I see the tigers wey dey with am and when I see the way say this people they are users. They used me. APC used me.

“But thank God, when I read the book of Luke 15:1-32, I know say the parable of the lost son na when you don commot from your papa house and you don fall short of his glory, you go go back to your papa. I now went back to [Ifeanyi] Okowa. Okowa hugged me and kissed me.

“And come back come tell una say this Tinubu walker, this world before una, I was. But una say I dey talk anyhow. But how far? Who dey buy fuel N617 now? E touch everybody.” (sic)
