Popular Nigerian comedian Otaghware Onodjayeke, better known as I Go Save, has described the 2027 general elections as a contest between “the poor and the paid poor,” drawing widespread reaction online.
The comedian made the remark in a post on his social media page, where he raised concern about the influence of financial inducement on voters’ political choices.
According to him, election outcomes are shaped not only by economic hardship but also by people who face similar struggles yet are willing to defend politicians in exchange for money or other material benefits.
“2027 election is between the poor and the paid poor,” he wrote.
The comment has since sparked debate on social media, with supporters and critics offering differing interpretations of the statement. It comes as political activity gradually gathers momentum ahead of the next presidential election.
