Basket Mouth has stated why he cannot cancel his February 14
show billed to hold in London the same day Nigeria’s presidential elections
will hold, despite people clamouring that the comedian must cancel the show and
perform his civic duties by voting. Here’s the reason he stated to SaturdayBeats;
“This has been an annual show in the last six years. It is a franchise and it holds every Valentine’s Day in the UK regardless of the day it falls on. It has been happening for the past six years and the venue has been booked long ago. The tickets have been on sale long before it was announced that elections would hold on that day.
The humour merchant said he was sure
that the few people that raised objection are mostly Nigerians who
reside abroad. He added that if he was in the country during the
election, he would vote because he is proud to be a Nigerian.
“If about thirty people that are
probably in London and would not vote comment on my page; that does not
mean that my whole fans are upset with me. Truth be told, if they are
talking about fans’ comments, I would like to see about three million
comments from different people to show that they are unhappy. If you
check well, those people that are commenting are not in the country.
They are probably somewhere trying to get their permanent resident
permits. I have no reason not to vote; I am a proud Nigerian,”
Basketmouth said.
