Popular comedian, Bright Okpocha, aka Basket Mouth, has explained why he was unable to cast a ballot in the 2023 elections.
Basket Mouth said that he was eligible to vote because his performances abroad and in other countries were scheduled more than a year in advance to ensure a suitable location.
In his words, “I have always spoken up about the wrongs in this country. It’s quite unfortunate that I missed the elections this year. However, my international show are planned one year so as to secure the date and venue.
To have changed my date on such short notice would have been a logistical hazard not to myself but to the whole crew. Elections have not always been in february…I am proud of every nigerian youth for taking a stand. Thank you to my true fans that understood and still came out for me.”
