Veteran Nollywood actor, Zack Orji, has publicly endorsed Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC's presidential candidate, and Kashim Shettima, Tinubu's running partner.
The vice-president of Ambassadors of Voice of Change, Orji, referred to Tinubu as a leader and a man who fights for justice, fairness, and racial harmony.
My support for Asiwaju Tinubu is personal, he added in the now-viral video that The Nation saw. I've spent more than 40 years of my life in Lagos. This man has always been a leading advocate for the consolidation of democracy in my own Nigeria.
“I’ve always known him (Tinubu) as a man who stands for equity, fair play and national cohesion.
“In his time as Governor of Lagos State, he ran an all-inclusive government drawing people from different ethnic extractions into the Executive Council as decision makers to run the affairs of the state.
“People who came from different ethnic extractions were given an opportunity to be part of decision making in Lagos state. I know with a high degree of certainty that on a national scale, he’ll do the same.
“Though we differ in tribe and tongue, in brotherhood we stand tall. I know when he (Tinubu) becomes the president of this country, he will turn the fortune of this country around.”
Orji urged well-meaning Nigerians to join him in supporting Tinubu to emerge as the country’s next President.
