Award-winning actor, movie producer and director, Ebun Oloyede, popularly called Olaiya Igwe, has said he doesn't feel embarrassed by his viral nude video.

He also said he feels blessed to have been appointed as DG of MC Olumo-led campaign team,

According to him, “I feel blessed and honored to have been appointed as the Director General of the Connecting Grassroots Initiatives (CGI) for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu/Shettima and Sanw- Olu/Hamzat election bid. As you all know. I have always been a supporter of the All Progressives Congress and with this new responsibility I’ve been saddled with, me and my team are 100% ready to get the mandate our party truly deserves.”

He added that contrary to popular belief, he was not naked in the viral controversial video that had been criticized by many, reiterating that “for the record, I was not stark naked in that video, only a few parts were revealed and for the second part of your question as to why go to such extreme for the Presidential candidate of APC, let me state categorically that I can go to any length for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and MC Oluomo. These two amazing individuals are the reason Olaiya Igwe is still standing. When I was diagnosed with nephrolithiasis (Kidney Stones), these people came to my rescue, paid for medicals and gave me life; now tell me why I won’t go all out to support them.

“A lot of you don’t understand divine calling; 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. Stand up. Go and do this, this and this for him. I am an artiste and a bit of a politician. But professionally, I am an artist. So I said okay, as an artiste, I can do it and I stood up and did what I was instructed to do,” he added..

Speaking on the backlash that came with the nude video, he said, “I feel good, I never regret my action and as a matter of fact you never can tell the next thing I will be doing. It’s not every day in your career you will receive praises; there are days that come with backlash and gbas gbos! For me I don’t let hate comments get to me at all; there is nothing like bad press in my dictionary. I have moved past that phase and at the moment, my team and I are strategising towards the coming election.”
