Popular comedian, Mr Ibu, has said that veteran politician, Atiku Abubakar, has been his benefactor for a long time.
He said there was a time he ‘changed house for him’, suggesting that he bought a new house for him or paid for a rent.
Ibu made this known in a video in which he reacted to reports that he is working for the Bola Tinubu presidential aspiration.
The insinuation resulted from his joining a group of entertainers to visit Tinubu.
But he insists in the video: “People approached me about Tinubu’s involvement to contest for the next president of Nigeria. I am a completely independent person; in the area that I perform, I am a comedian, musician and actor. Anything that has to do with anybody, people come to me and I address me in that direction. I know what to do.
“I do not know why this thing is going on like this. From time, I will never run sideways. It has been me and Atiku all this while, he has taken me places. If Atiku is running for president, certainly, because he has done a lot of things for me; there was a time he changed my house. He is like a father to me. He is contesting for president under PDP, certainly, I will be working for him. Atiku is my candidate.”
