Nigerian comedian Basketmouth has disclosed why he boycotted Saturday’s National Assembly and presidential elections.

He said:
“ 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.”
The comedian said he is proud of every Nigerian Youth that participated in the poll. He also thanked his fans for understanding why he could not vote.
