Renowned Nigerian comedian and filmmaker, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has opened up about the challenges he faced after publicly declaring his support for Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the last election.

Speaking at the Easter edition of his comedy show, AY Live, held in Lagos on Sunday, the ace comedian disclosed that he encountered significant problems following his endorsement of Obi’s candidacy. However, he reiterated that he does not regret throwing his support behind the former presidential aspirant.

AY emphasized that his decision to support Peter Obi was driven by his desire for positive change in Nigeria, rather than any political affiliation. He underscored that he is not a politician and has no political aspirations but was motivated by the vision of a better Nigeria.

In his words, “I supported Peter Obi [in the last presidential election]. I do not regret supporting Peter Obi. That was when my problems started.

“The decision I made to support Peter Obi is not because I am a politician but because I want change. I want Nigeria to become better. I am not a politician.

“I know nothing about politics. After I started campaigning for Obi on social media, my house got burnt. After God, the next person you should fear and respect is government. Try government, they will shock you.”
