“I Am Sincerely Sorry” — Aremu Afolayan Begs Nigerians for Forgiveness After Political Drama

Please, you should forgive me. Ah, no, no, no, the c&rs£s were too much. I know I have done wr0ng. I picked what I wasn’t supposed to pick, and I am sincerely sorry.

Two narrations are going on social media. The first one is that I was paid. In all honesty, I wasn’t paid. Ah, my heart is he@vy, and I have h&rt a lot of Nigerians deeply. Please, I am sincerely sorry. I didn’t take money from anyone. No, at all.

The second narration is about ins£cur!ty. It is so obvious that there’s ins£cur!ty, it is everywhere in Nigeria, and the government is not doing anything about it.

What I was trying to say in the video is that if someone tells you, “Don’t worry, nothing is happening, be calm,” don’t answer that person, because that person is reading a script. That was all I was trying to say. The person is lying because it is obvious there is ins£cur!ty.

My best friend’s mother was kidn@pp£d. I’m not supposed to bring this matter here, but she was kidn@pp£d. We paid. How will I now say there is no ins£cur!ty in Nigeria? We paid millions for her release.

Ahh, the c&rs£s you all rained on me were too much. You have supported me through my career as an actor, you’ve supported my businesses, my two businesses. It’s not the government that supports my business, it’s you.

I am sorry. I am, I am sorry. And I promise to withdraw my hand from anything that has to do with Tinubu or politics. Three of my Hausa friends called and said, “Aremu, they are really b@sh!ng you.” I said, if a Hausa man can call me, that means it is everywhere and I have offended people so deeply. I am really sorry…”
