Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, has blasted Reno
Omokri, a former media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, for dragging the
presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi into actor Mr Ibu’s ill
heath.
Recall that veteran comic actor, John Okafor,
popularly known as Mr Ibu, on Wednesday took to the internet to seek public
assistance as he battles an undisclosed ailment that may cost him his leg.
Reacting to the viral video on his X handle, Reno Omokri
called out Peter Obi to pay the medical bills for the ailing actor.
He stated that Mr Ibu had endorsed and campaigned for Obi as
his preferred candidate during the 2023 general elections and as a result, the
LP flagbearer must help the actor in his time of need.
Reacting to Omokri’s post, Kanayo in a clip shared on his
Instagram page on Thursday, condemned the former presidential aide, describing
him as wicked.
Kanayo stated that giving is personal and should not be used
to indict others.
“As actors, our heart goes out to our dear colleague, Mr
Ibu. His family has done their best since it was reported last year. And now
they have come out to say we have done our best, we need public support.
“Now, I condemn in strict terms Reno Omokri, who is coming
to call Peter Obi’s name and so on. It is not a friendly thing. It’s wicked.
And to Uche Maduagwu, who talked about shame on top actors. Shame on you too
because you don’t have any value and level to call out our names.
“It’s an individual thing to support a colleague. It becomes
a collective thing as Actors Guild of Nigeria. Don’t forget some people learn
to give personally, privately. Even those who have given can also be
appreciated on a scale of what they have given to John Okafor.
“We appreciate your efforts in giving but nobody should use
it as a platform to castigate or indict those who have not given. It’s wrong
and we don’t support it.
“So, this is a warning. If you want to give, give.”
