Nigerian comedian and actor, Bright Okpocha, a.k.a Basketmouth recently released an official statement explaining why he did not participate in the 2023 presidential election.

Meanwhile, changing a venue due to the election date would have caused him logistical hazard.
He wrote: I have always spoken up about the wrongs in this country. It’s quite unfortunate that I missed elections this year. However, my international show are planned one year 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… he continued.

He 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.
