Comedian Ay Makun Explains Why He Can’t Reject The National Honour Conferred On Him By Ex President, Muhammadu Buhari

Nigerian comedian and actor, Richard Ayodeji Makun better known as AY Makun has explained why he can’t reject the National honour conferred on him by ex president, Muhammadu Buhari.

This came after the businessman was heavily criticized by some netizens.

Announcing he was given national award by Ex president Muhammadu Buhari, Ay wrote on his Twitter page; “Barely a week ago i was awarded The Most Outstanding Comedy Personality of A Decade. Yesterday, I woke up to a message from my manager, informing me about being listed amongst notable Nigerians to receive a national honour. Just when I was taking it to be another award to join”.

He tweeted; “Those of you shaming or asking me to reject ‘A National Honour’ are clearly missing a vital point. Our country is bigger and more important than any president or political party awarding it. A national honour is the highest recognition anyone can get for his or her contributions”.
