Why I Did Not Vote In Saturday's Election — Comedian BasketMouth

Nigerian comedian, Bright Okpocha aka Basketmouth has revealed that he was not able to vote in Saturday’s elections.

He made the revelation on Monday.

Explaining why, he stated that he had shows outside of Nigeria planned for a year in advance to secure a good venue and that changing venues due to the election date would cause him logistical problems.

“I have always spoken up about the wrongs in this country. It’s quite unfortunate that I missed elections this year. However, my international shows are planned one year before, 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. But my show always was, as a valentine special.

“That being said, 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. Thank you Frankfrut for another sold out show. Cologne. You are next “
