Trending: Sam Amadi explains Why Celebrities Are Not Supporting Funke Akindele, Tonto Dikeh and Others.

According to the latest reports, the former Chaiman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulator Commission (NERC),

Dr. Sam Amadi has stated reasons other celebrities are not openly backing their colleagues contesting in the 2023 elections. 

Amadi said the reason could be attributed to financial and selfish interests.

According to Amadi

Since Funke Akindele and Tonto Dikeh announced their political ambitions, few or no celebrities have shown them support.

Instead of supporting their colleagues, Nollywood stars have decided to follow political parties that can afford them.

He argued that “Most of these actors and singers depend on politicians and corporate entities for endorsement and oftentimes they are more concerned about what they will benefit.

And if they are going to support one of their own, it means they are going to take a position against the more commercially profitable parties that are competing.

“If Funke Akindele wasn’t running, she would probably be supporting Atiku, Tinubu, Peter Obi or some party that has the capacity to pay them for their endorsement, support or other forms of advocacy they do for them.”
