Veteran Yoruba Actor Lalude laments abandonment after campaigning for Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu

Veteran Yoruba actor Fatai Adekunle Adetayo, popularly known as Lalude, has expressed deep frustration over what he describes as neglect after actively campaigning for President Bola Tinubu and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu during the 2023 elections.

Speaking on the Behind the Fame podcast, Lalude said he and fellow actors were promised financial compensation for their support but received nothing in return.

“After we campaigned for Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu, we were not given a dime,” he said.

The actor singled out NURTW boss MC Oluomo, alleging that he failed to fulfil promises made to the actors who participated in the campaign. According to him, they spent seven weeks working on the campaign, trekking long distances while others passed by in vehicles.

He claimed that they were initially paid ₦10,000 per day for feeding, but the payment abruptly stopped.

Lalude further revealed that MC Oluomo promised him and veteran comedian Ganiu ‘Alapini’ Nofiu ₦1.5 million each, a promise that was never fulfilled.

“MC promised me and Alapini. He asked us to name our price. We did. But we got nothing. We finished the work, and no dime was given to us. Is it good?” he added.

The actor didn’t mince words, saying those behind the failed promises “will not prosper,” and warned that 2027 won’t be business as usual.

His comments follow similar complaints from fellow entertainers Aminatu Papapa and Alapini, who have also voiced regret and disappointment over their involvement in the campaign.
