Nigerian actor and social media personality, Lege Miami, has reacted to growing concerns surrounding his open support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), following claims that he may be financially influenced.
The debate intensified after Sotayogaga publicly expressed worry about his safety, suggesting that his consistent political stance could put him at risk.
However, Lege Miami dismissed such concerns and strongly denied ever receiving any form of financial backing from the ruling party.
Putting his words directly, he said:
“I usually call Seyi Tinubu, and I fight him over the phone, and I complain to him about the state of the country. APC has never given me any money. They have never given any amount like 500 million to campaign for them.”
He further explained that his interactions with Seyi Tinubu are informal conversations where he expresses his frustrations about the condition of the country, rather than political sponsorship or campaign funding.
According to him, his support for the APC is driven purely by personal conviction and not financial motivation, stressing that he has never benefited monetarily from his political stance.
The statement adds to ongoing discussions about the involvement of celebrities in Nigerian politics and whether their endorsements are driven by ideology or incentives.
