The Nigerian TikToker and streamer, Peller, has reversed his earlier decision to cancel his planned 20-state tour, just hours after announcing it.

The content creator had initially unveiled plans for a tour across 20 states in Nigeria, which commenced on March 6. The itinerary included stops in Ibadan (Oyo State), Osun, Ekiti, Ogun, Ondo, Kogi, Kano, Kaduna, Abuja, Borno, Edo, Port Harcourt (Rivers State), Imo, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Enugu, Niger, and Ebonyi.

During a recent TikTok live session, Peller announced that he was calling off the tour, citing what he described as hostility and backlash from audiences.

“I am ending my tour, I am not doing the tour again. I am the one who said I wanted to do a tour and it is still me that is saying that it has come to an end,” he said.

“I am not doing again, I have put my hands up. You people do not like me, you are not good people. Any state I enter, you people would say I do not deserve to be welcomed like that. Why? What did I do?”

In a sudden reversal, Peller has now withdrawn that decision, confirming that the tour will go ahead.

Speaking during another live session streamed from Ebonyi State, he explained that ending the tour was no longer an option.

“You people should not be angry but I would not be able to end my tour, I cannot. We are live in Ebonyi state. See the beautiful city,” he said.

The development comes amid growing controversy surrounding the influencer in recent days.

Peller is currently facing a lawsuit filed by a woman identified as Osarobo Osarenoma Odigie, who is demanding N395 million in damages over allegations of defamation, cyber harassment, and invasion of privacy linked to an incident at a lounge.

The Benin Traditional Council has also invited him to appear before a committee of chiefs after what they described as an unauthorised visit to the palace.
