According to the actor, the president was already wealthy and famous before taking office.
During the conversation, Kunle Afod asked:
"You campaigned for Tinubu, what can you say about the state of the country now?"
Responding, Alapini said,
"I can say that his plan is to make Nigeria better. Tinubu didn’t become president because of money or affluence because he has them. He’s a cheerful giver. We appointed him for a reason, and he’s already doing it and will do more.”

"This man campaigned hard for Tinubu in 2023. Tinubu promised him money and never paid. He cursed him out publicly. Then Tinubu settled him. Cash and a car. Tone changed overnight. That's the real problem with Nigeria. Not the politicians. The people who fold the moment they get their cut."
