Nollywood actress, Regina Chukwu is in pains and has cried out to Nigerians.
She said: “I was highly emotional after the killings in Owo. It is high time we entertainers change our attitude towards campaigning for politicians.”
“I know it is a personal decision. However, we have been doing the same thing over and again, so why don’t we do it in another way this time around?”
“I believe people should be allowed to vote for the leaders they desire for themselves.”
“It is not like we are doing it for the love of the country. After collecting all these monies, what do we gain after the elections?”
“I have never collected money to campaign for any politicians. But, people will categorise all entertainers as the same. One cannot even talk about Nigeria again without people bashing one from nowhere. I am so pained. Our government is not working.”
“If we reject money from these politicians, they (politicians) will start to see us as serious people. I will start campaigning on my page, imploring people not to sell their votes.”
“I have been encouraging my followers on social media to get their permanent voter’s cards. Voting is the right of every adult citizen. I believe we can eventually get things right.”
