Nollywood stars, entertainers and celebrities appear to have distanced themselves from the political ambitions of some of their colleagues such as Funke
While Funke Akindele was picked as the running mate to the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, Tonto Dike was picked as running mate to the governorship candidate of the ADC for 2023 election in Rivers State.
Both actresses have made a flurry of promises to the people of their States if elected into office as deputy governors but as it stands, they are standing alone when it comes to support from their colleagues. While the likes of Honourable Desmond Elliot succeeded and is now a two-time member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, it would not be altogether wrong to say that he did not get much of the support of his Nollywood colleagues in his pre-election period.
“Most of these actors and singers depend on politicians and corporate entities for endorsement and oftentimes they are more concerned about what they will benefit. And if they are going to support one of their own, it means they are going to take a position against the more commercially profitable parties that are competing.
