One of the celebrities who have been cajoled on several occasions to endorse a political candidate and a party is actor Nkem Owoh. He refused a whooping N10 million to endorse political candidate Tinubu some months ago. During an interview with the Punch, he stated that he has refused to join politics despite being lured by many people.
According to Nkem, politics in Nigeria is like a disease, and do not want to be infected with the disease.
He said: “Giving his views on the forthcoming election, the actor said, “I will just go and vote. I have tried to reject Nigerian politics in its entirety even though I know there are still some good people inside the polity, but the system is like a diseased mesh.
“People have tried to draw me into politics but I know that if I put my head into it, I will be infected with the disease and I don’t want it. So, I prefer to stay at the flank. The country will become better when we have reasonable leadership in all directions. And soon it is going to come because I can see the rumples.
