Nigerian comedian, Ayo Makun, better known as AY, has opened up on how his support for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, affected his life.
Top society reports that the filmmaker, during the AY Live Easter Sunday show, said his support for the LP candidate wasn’t because he was a politician but because he wanted Nigeria to change for the better.
