Nigerian comedian and film producer, AY, has explained why he thinks most of his colleagues are scared to stick by their candidates during elections.
He shared his views in a tweet he posted today, January 12. The film producer claimed in a tweet that the fear of being blacklisted is why many of his colleagues don't go public with their preferred candidate during election season.
AY believes that the decision is for the safety of his colleagues, as many of them are often being attacked by thugs who would do anything to protect their own interests.
In his words, 'Most celebs have become slaves to fear during elections. Whenever they publicly take a stand on any political candidate of their choice, they are either blacklisted or attacked by clueless thugs who would do anything to secure their own interests. Stop putting them under pressure."
