Actress Iyabo Ojo picks Peter Obi as her top choice for president.
Nigerian celebrities are still divided over the upcoming general elections, with many voicing their opinions loudly.
Ojo has now endorsed Obi after receiving criticism from numerous celebrities for being impartial in the approaching election.
The actress tweeted a Labour Party poster with Obi's picture on it and declared him to be her favorite.
In her words, "My choice is @peterobigregory we need a breath of fresh air & I strongly believe in his vision & mission, most especially his management skills. Nigeria cannot be repaired in 4 years but we need a positive starting point for a better Nigeria so that our children & the ones yet unborn won’t have to face this hardship we’re facing. We need to start building a system that will work for the betterment of our people & our country."
The actress emphasized the reasons she would support him by saying that it was not about her faith or her tribe but rather about accountability and putting an end to the suffering and tribulations of the average person.
In her word, She wrote, “We need accountability for every wrong or right decision that is made …. Lies will no longer slide. This vote is not about ethnicity & religion for me….. It’s about ending the struggle & pain of the common man. It’s about not letting the death of all those who lost their lives during the endsars protest go in vain. This is deep for me, but unfortunately, I can’t campaign bcos I’m a target if . od willing, I pray that his Excellency Peter Obi wins & I pray he doesn’t disappoint us when he gets in, so help us God. If he doesn’t win, whoever wins I pray leads Nigeria right, if not, Nigeria will not be able to stand the doom that will await."
Many people, including famous people, reacted by praising her for finally demonstrating her support for the "Obidient" movement.
Ojo is not the only famous person to publicly support Obi; the Psquare combo, Mr. Macaroni, Kenneth Okonkwo, and Nkechi Blessing are just a few.
