This had sparked mixed reactions from netizens some of whom had gone to the comment section to denigrate him for taking award from an administration they had critiqued. Reacting to this, AY noted that receiving an award is the highest honor a person can get, and this has nothing to do with the person who confers it as the vital point is that he has contributed his own quota to nation building.
