Nollywood actor, Akah Nnani has issued out a public announcement to his colleagues who sing or pray at political events.
He opined that doing such indirectly means one is endorsing such politicians as candidates for the general election.
The actor cum media personality stated that as public figures and entertainers, they don’t have the luxury of taking their image or work lightly, especially not now.
Akah Nnani told his colleagues to start choosing sides now, as fixing the country is more than screaming about what’s wrong.
“If you pray at a political event or you sing for a politician, you have endorsed that candidate.
As public figures/Entertainers, we don’t have the luxury of taking our image or work lightly. Now now. We must act with purpose and be burdened with posterity. Let’s walk the talk”.
Akah Nnani added, “We have to start choosing sides now. This is a public announcement to all, but especially to my fellow colleagues. It’s not by screaming about what’s wrong with the country when it’s convenient. It’s hard sometimes, but you have to turn down that money. We already know who our enemies are. From now, you have to decide on whose side you are on. Are you for the generation that has failed us time and time again? And dealt wickedly with is during the protests? Or are you about looking for alternatives and the new generation and using your platform and the gift of influence that you have to spread hope for a better future? Answer these questions now and choose your side. But whatever you choose, stay consistent”.
