Comedian AY Makun has responded to Nigerians who have called on him to reject the National honor bestowed on him by former President Buhari. 

On Sunday, May 28, AY was enlisted to receive the national honor, Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR). Some Nigerians who are aggrived by the outcome of the 2023 general election, asked him to reject the honor.

Respodning via his Twitter handle, the dad of two wrote;

‘’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 to nation building. So 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”
