The actor also described Tinubu as his benefactor for saving his life after he was diagnosed with nephrolithiasis (Kidney Stones).
Olaiya Igwe said he knows a lot of criticism would follow his action but he went on to do it because of the revelation. The actor who spoke in Yoruba said in part:
“…Because of things he has done for me, health wise and I received a revelation to pray for him at the beach, which I did. I was criticized and cursed after I did but I didn’t care. I wasn’t annoyed with him(Tinubu), neither did I react negatively to him, I knew the criticism was inevitable because I am a much loved actor.
People who didn’t expect my actions must have been shocked, wondering why I did what I did. I know the criticism would have come from Bola Tinubu’s rival parties.”
