Support for the presidential candidate of All Progressives
Congress, Bola Tinubu, was bolstered on Wednesday as Yoruba Nollywood
superstars openly endorsed the former Lagos State governor.
The thespians noted that their support for the APC national
leader had become imperative following his support for the movie industry,
practitioners, and the ex-governor’s influence across the country.
The actors made their position known in a video clip shared
by a veteran actor, Yinka Quadri, where some of his colleagues took turns to
endorse Tinubu’s candidacy.
Those featured in the video clip were Yinka Quadri, Jide
Kosoko, Fausat Balogun, Taiwo Hassan, Femi Adebayo, Shola Kosoko, Faithia
Williams, Saheed Balogun, Murphy Afolabi, and Eniola Ajao among others.
In the one minute-thirteen second’s video clip which is said
to be from the League of Actors, the thespians who took turns to speak in
Yoruba, justified why Tinubu deserved to succeed Buhari.
Sharing the video clip on his Instagram page, Yinka Quadri
noted that it was the South-West region, particularly the Yoruba people’s turn
to become president.
According to him, Tinubu is a bridge-builder across
regional, ethnic and religious lines that is capable of uniting the country.
He wrote:
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a bridge-builder across
regional, ethnic and religious lines that is capable of uniting the country. We
have identified him as an exceptional manager of resources and a seasoned
administrator and we are convinced that the nation needs him in the next
dispensation.
We have discovered a man who is ready to sacrifice all he
has for his fatherland…the least sacrifice we can make is to let the whole
country see the Leadership we have seen, feel the compassion we have felt; and
move the maker of modern Lagos (Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu) to the moulder of a
greater Nigeria..
Nigerians, we need to rise and give Tinubu an unequivocal
charge: to springboard Nigeria into a growth phase several leaps ahead, the way
Lagos State — under his guide— left the launch platform two decades ago, has
stayed the positive course and is now the 5th biggest economy in Africa (rated
as a nation). We must not fail to give this indefatigable leader with such an
audacious spirit, a creative instinct, and a striking mission a clear mandate
to make the biggest difference possible to our collective trajectory of growth
and development as a nation. What would it take? Our massive turnout and count
of votes in the 2023 presidential election.
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. The majority of actors who venture into politics
today do so because of the influence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. By God
grace, Asiwaju will move from Jagaban of Lagos to Asiwaju of Nigeria. For all
your sacrifices, for all your effort, God will reward you this time…. If we
look at the rotation of leaders in Nigeria over the years, it is very crystal
clear it is Yoruba turn to be president.
BAT, Eyin lol kan (you’re the next).
