Nkem Owoh allegedly rejected the offer stating that he’s not interested in such deals as he is of the opinion that the endorsement is misleading and he doesn’t want to be a part of that.
With this news, a lot of youths have reacted on social media that this situation has strengthened their love for Nkem Owoh knowing that he is a man of integrity and his character should be emulated by his peers. Some are of the opinion that it’s time to stop being selfish, and looking out for personal gains but make a choice to help in rebuilding the nation and let potentials of candidates speak this time around.
Nkem Owoh said that “not everybody is amenable to the persuasiveness of money, the will of the people should prevail”. With this development, other actors have been thrown under the bus because with this, it’s been exposed that others who have been endorsing Tinubu are suspected to have been paid or made an offer which they took and have compromised their integrity for money and for selfish gains.
