Nollywood actor, Akah Nnani has berated his colleagues who
are singing and praying for presidential aspirants.
Akah, in a post on his Instagram page, urged entertainers to
act with purpose, adding that any public figure or entertainer who prays or
sings at any political event had endorsed that candidate.
This is coming after Timi Dakolo sang for former Vice
President, Atiku Abubakar, at his official declaration for the 2023
presidential race.
Also Taribo West prayed for Asiwaju Tinubu, which has since
stirred reactions.
The 35-year-old actor demanded that entertainers should turn
down money to perform for any candidate.
His post read: “If you pray at a political event or you sing
for a politician, you have endorsed that candidate.
“As public figures/entertainers, we don’t have the luxury of
taking our image or work lightly. Not now.
“We must act with purpose and be burdened with posterity.
Let’s walk the talk.
“We have to start choosing sides now. This is a public
announcement to all, but especially to my fellow colleagues. It’s not by
screaming about what is wrong with the country when it is convenient.
“It’s hard sometimes but you have to turn down that money.
We already know who our enemies are. From now, you have to decide on whose side
you are on.”
Concluding, Akah asked entertainers and public figures to
use their platform to spread hope for a better future.
“Are you for the people or are you for the old systems? It’s
that simple. Are you for the money? Are you for the generation that has failed
us time and time again? And dealt wickedly with us during the protests? Or are
you about looking for alternatives and the new generation and using your
platform and the gift of influence that you have to spread hope for a better
future?
“Answer these questions now and choose your side. But
Whatever you choose, stay consistent,” he added.
