All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu who is currently in France on a vacation has received backing on his quest from a group of A-list Yoruba Actors reports Prime Business Africa.
The movie stars maintained that the political influence that Tinubu wields ensured that a number of them went into politics in a bid to positively impact the society.
In a video making the rounds from an Instagram post, actor Yinka Quadri on behalf of the other Nollywood stars from the Yoruba movie genres stated unequivocally that the former Lagos State Governor deserves to be given the mandate to become Nigeria’s elected President in 2023.
“I, Alhaji Olayinka Quadri pledge my support for BAT not because I was paid to do so but because of Asiwaju’s support and influence to all and sundry over the years.
“Majority of actors who venture into politics do so because of the influence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. By God’s grace, Asiwaju will move from Jagaban of Lagos to Asiwaju of Nigeria.
Other Yoruba Nollywood actors endorsing include Jide Kosoko, Shola Kosoko, Taiwo Hassan, Shaheed Balogun, Fausat Balogun, Fathia Williams, Femi Adebayo, Eniola Ajao, Murphy Afolabi and a host of others.
Making reference to Tinubu, Quadri said further: “For all your sacrifices, for all your efforts, God will reward you this time.
Quadri then made a statement that would stir controversy over the perceived injustice meted to the South eastern part of Nigeria as regards producing the next President.
“If we look at the rotation of leaders in Nigeria over the years it is very crystal clear it is Yoruba’s turn to be president. BAT, Etin lol kan (you are the next).”
