Comedian Basketmouth is likely not to vote in the forthcoming general election has he is set to dumped his franchise for a nine-city tour spanning countries outside the African continent.

Having known the 2023 election is scheduled for next month, the comedian announced his foreign tour for comedy, named “Basketmouth Unprovoked” will hold same month. 

The tour is expected to begin on February 12 in Manchester and end in Frankfurt on February 27, 2023.

According to the comedian, tickets to the comedy tour are selling very fast and are almost sold out.

However, the comedian’s latest move seems to contradict his 2015 stance about entertainers and elections.

In a 2015 tweet, Basketmouth frowned at entertainers who exit the country during an election period.

The tweet, made during the 2015 electioneering season, weighed such entertainers side-by-side with other entertainment industry practitioners who campaigned for the Goodluck Jonathan government.

“Now I don’t know which celebs are worse, the ones that were out of the country during the election or the ones that campaigned for GEJ. Lol,” the tweet, which was an attempt at disapproving of both groups, reads.
