Nigerians are reacting to a viral video showing the arrival of comic actor John Okafor, better known as Mr. Ibu arriving at the venue of a rally held for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
His arrival and that of other celebrities at the event grounds in Jos on Wednesday, September 28 came as a surprise to many.
Recall that in 2021, he met with Bola Tinubu, raising suspicions that he endorsed the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Videos shared online showed the moment Mr. Ibu greeted Peter Obi and was also called on stage as he prayed for the supporters of LP.
Netizens have been reacting.
