On Monday, renowned comedic actor, Ayo Makun, nicknamed AY, on Monday on his Instagram handle shared his joy over the national honours award of Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) given by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
He wrote: “I’m indeed happy to be listed amongst individuals adding value to the country in all spheres of human endeavour.”
Replying to those who had asked him to reject the national honour, AY said he will not reject the award because it is clearly “a national honour” and the nation is “bigger and more important than any president or political party awarding it.”
He added: “My allegiance is to a country where I have contributed my own quota, and I am more than happy to be rewarded by the same nation.”
