Popular Nollywood actor, Tony Umez has officially endorsed the candidacy of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for the 2023 election.
Giving reasons for the endorsement, the Nigerian actor said the Labour Party candidate has always been saying the right things and has done the right things in the past.
Tony, who made his position known in his interview with BBC, said he would opt for Obi as president if he were to vote as soon as tomorrow.
He said, “Some think it’s their birthright to rule Nigeria. I don’t know where that came from. I am not saying Peter Obi is a good man, but he’s saying the right things and has done the right things.
“There is much rage right now. Nigeria is blessed with great human and natural resources, but we have not been blessed with good leadership and the youth are angry about how things turned out.
“There are some people that have been thrown up that I feel are not credible enough to rule us. I think if you are part of a problem, you can not be part of the solution.”
Umez condemned what he tag sit-tight rulership in Africa as he criticised the President Muhammadu Buhari government
