Nigerian comedian, Freedom Okpetoritse Atsepoyi, widely known as Mr Jollof, expressed his frustration over being 'used and dumped' by the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). In a recent Instagram video, Mr Jollof, who was once a staunch supporter of President Bola Tinubu and the APC, revealed that he has now switched his allegiance to the camp of former Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, who was the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections.
Mr Jollof humorously mocked the current fuel price hike and the economic hardships faced by Nigerians. He claimed that he had warned citizens to stop supporting the APC after his defection, but his advice was not heeded by many.
Citing a Bible passage that emphasizes the importance of correcting one's mistakes, Mr Jollof stated, "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."
In his words, “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.
