Stand-up comedian, Francis Agoda, popularly known as I Go Die, has accused Nigerian politicians of recycling manipulative tactics as the 2027 general election draws near.
He made his feelings known while sharing a post on his verified Instagram handle.
According to him, these politicians “fake humility” to gain sympathy and votes from Nigerians.
The 46-year-old added that they often make promises to electorates, only to disappear after winning elections.
He went on to accuse them of lacking creativity as they still employ tactics used by historical figures such as the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

The comedian while expressing frustration about Nigerians’ repeated gullibility, stressed that the country does not need actors but thinkers and visionary leaders.
Speaking via his social media page, I Go Die said, “2027 dey near… Politicians don dey collect their white native from tailor hand. Very soon now, you go begin see dem for roadside dey buy corn, dey help roast bole with women, enter market like say na dem suffer pass you, chop for mama put like say na their house. Fake humility just to win your heart.
“But once dem win, dem go disappear like spirit. You no go see dem again until next election. Same old script since 1960. No innovation, no sincerity.
“Na the same format dem Awolowo use that year na una still dey use today. Zero creativity. Zero change. Na why Nigeria still dey where we dey.
“We do not need actors, we need thinkers. We do not need visionary leaders, not recycled lies.”
