The actor Metin Yıldız made a statement regarding why he has remained silent about the arrest of the dismissed Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB) Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu. Yıldız, who said he couldn't reach İmamoğlu when he wanted to meet him for a film five years ago, stated, "We have been trying to reach him for five years and have never been able to. Now I am writing here for those who ask why I am not sharing anything. If anyone asks, just tell them: I am very busy."

Metin Yıldız, known for his sketches in the 'Çok Güzel Hareketler Bunlar' team, responded to criticisms about why he remained silent regarding the arrested Ekrem İmamoğlu. Sharing a previously taken photo with İmamoğlu, Yıldız claimed that he tried to contact İmamoğlu for a film, but İmamoğlu did not answer his calls, using this as a justification for his silence.
"I TRAVELED 2,000 KM TO VOTE FOR HIM"
Stating that he was with İmamoğlu before anyone else, Yıldız said, "I traveled 2,000 km to vote for him, I called him for a film; he didn't write back, didn't respond. I called again, sent an email, but unfortunately, he was very busy. He was conducting some artistic activities with those who were not with him that day." he shared.
"I'M VERY BUSY"
Yıldız responded to those asking, "Why aren't you sharing anything... If anyone asks, I'm very busy."
Yıldız's post is as follows:
"Hello Friends
I have been receiving a lot of requests lately, both through my social media accounts and personally.. Why am I silent, why am I not sharing, why am I not calling for a boycott, why, why, why..
Why, you ask;
None of you knew the friend with the microphone in the photo..
He was the candidate for the Mayor of Beylikdüzü in 2014, I was with him..
He won
I didn't call, I didn't make a request..
In 2019, I was in Fatsa, there was a pandemic. He said everything will be very good, I believed it. I left my parents and traveled 2000 km to vote..
He won
Two years later
I called for a cinema film for art, he didn't answer
I sent a message
He didn't respond
I called his pen
He didn't write
A response came
Sir is busy
I called again
Very busy
I sent an email
Unfortunately, he is very, very, very busy..
We haven't been able to reach him for five years..
I'm watching
Those who were not with him that day are all around him, engaged in a lot of artistic activities together:)
Now I'm writing here for those who ask why I'm not sharing anything..
If anyone asks, tell them..
I'm very busy.."
