Popular Comedian, Basketmouth real name, Bright Okpocha has come out to tender his heartfelt apology to the former President and also make clear his stance over political issues.
In his recent Instagram post, the comedian debunked rumors that he was one of the advocates for the emergence of Buhari’s administration.
He said he never campaigned for President Buhari or any other politician (including former president, Jonathan).
He wrote: “Truth of the matter is that I would have voted anyone that could speak two words of English against Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan and that’s strictly based on the amount of greed and selfishness we witnessed from members of his (Jonathan’s) administration in the 6 years that he sat on the rock.
“I have said it numerous times that I am not a politician hence I try not to dabble in politics. However I think a few people interpret crying out against injustice by the one as campaign for the other.”
But barely 24 hours after airing his stance, Basketmouth apologized for appearing as though ‘disrespectful’ to Jonathan.
He, however, retracted his statement, stating he has ‘nothing but respect’ for the former president.
He wrote: “I have to sincerely apologise at this point that in expressing my opinion in my last post which was primarily to clear the air about who I campaigned, supported or rooted for or didn’t, I was disrespectful to a man I have nothing but respect.
“The last President may have had some wrong advisers and consequently decisions were made that will eventually impact on the economy, however I am sorry if it came across as an attack on the man Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
