Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, criticized Reno Omokri, a former media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, for involving the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, in Mr Ibu's health issues.

In response to a viral video where actor Mr Ibu sought public assistance for an undisclosed ailment, Reno Omokri called on Peter Obi to cover the medical bills for the ailing actor. He pointed out that Mr Ibu had endorsed and campaigned for Obi during the 2023 general elections, making it necessary for Obi to assist the actor in his time of need.

See Reno's post:

Google it. Mr. Ibu set up a fundraiser for Peter Obi when he was healthy. Billions of Naira were raised from that fundraiser. The least Peter Obi can do is use some of the billions raised from that fundraiser to help Mr. Ibu now that he has health challenges. This is not a matter… pic.twitter.com/56jCdJCAuc

Kanayo, in a video shared on his Instagram page, condemned Omokri's actions, describing them as wicked. He emphasized that giving is a personal matter 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.”
