The Progressive Coalition of Entertainers (PCE) has declared
support for Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in the 2023 election.
The group, which is said to include over 60 celebrities, met
with Mudashiru Obasa, the speaker of the Lagos house of assembly on Friday.
NAN reports that PCE, led by Saheed Balogun, paid a courtesy
visit to the speaker at the assembly complex.
Obasa urged Nollywood actors, producers, and entertainers of
like minds not to relent in their effort to ensure victory for the APC
presidential candidate in the election.
The speaker thanked the group for their efforts to ensure a
successful presidential election victory for Tinubu.
Obasa further tasked them to sustain the relationship that
exists between them and the state government.
“Our task is to involve people, enlighten them and make them
see reasons why they should continue to support APC. We know the group has
always supported the party and we want them to continue,” he said.
“To us, every vote is
an investment because every single vote counts.”
Balogun, while speaking, said the group of “over 60
celebrities” decided to come together to endorse Tinubu to the people of the
state because he had “turned Lagos into a smart city.”
He said Tinubu laid the foundation that successive
governments latched on to, putting Lagos in an enviable position among other
states.
Outlining some of the group’s activities, the actor said
they hope to influence thoughts on social media and also embark on door-to-door
engagements.
“Since the campaign
has commenced, the artistes, having large followers on social media, see it as
an opportunity to reach out and engage prospective voters,” Balogun added.
“This is because we see Tinubu as one who had done a lot to
qualify as the next president of Nigeria and our hope is to continue to release
the presidential candidate’s achievements.
“Asiwaju has done well and it is time to pay back. Every
successive government continues to build on his foundation.”
