I was asked to pray naked for Tinubu’s victory – Olaiya Igwe

However, in an interview with media personality Morayo Afolabi-Brown on Your View breakfast show aired on TVC on Monday, Olaiya Igwe claimed he was given a spiritual mandate to carry out the act to ensure Tinubu’s victory.

He said: “I will go straight to what I did last four days ago. I was asked to stand up and do it spiritually. I have a gift of revelation by Almighty God. At times I see what God plans for me ahead before it happens. I was sleeping that day and the voice came to me and said ‘please stand up, you said you love Asiwaju and he has been assisting you’, I said ‘yes’. He said stand up go and do this and this for him.”

Earlier in August, Olaiya, who began his acting career after joining Abeokuta-based Musbau Shodimu Theatre Organisation, trended on social media when he posted a clip of himself prostrating before his benefactor and staunch supporter of Tinubu, MC Oluomo after he was gifted a brand new car by the latter.
