I Will Lose Millions Of Naira If I Cancel My Show Because of Election- Basketmouth |
In a recent interview with Saturday Beats, popular comedian, Basketmouth said it’s not possible for him to cancel his show because of election.
He said the event date has been planned before INEC released their election date. And that if he cancels the show, he will lose millions of Naira.
Basketmouth said “This has been an annual show in the last six years. It is a franchise and it holds every Valentine’s Day in the UK regardless of the day it falls on. It has been happening for the past six years and the venue has been booked long ago. The tickets have been on sale long before it was announced that elections would hold on that day.
Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about it because everything is ready and I have to go on with my show. The people talking about it apparently do not know that it is a franchise that has been on for about six years. I cannot cancel the show because of elections,”
Basketmouth said few people who raised the issue are Nigerians who reside in abroad, and that if he’s in the country, he will definitely vote.
“If about thirty people that are probably in London and would not vote comment on my page; that does not mean that my whole fans are upset with me. Truth be told, if they are talking about fans’ comments, I would like to see about three million comments from different people to show that they are unhappy. If you check well, those people that are commenting are not in the country. They are probably somewhere trying to get their permanent resident permits. I have no reason not to vote; I am a proud Nigerian,”
