Nollywood Actor: Obi Replies el-Rufai

Recall that el-Rufai had tagged Obi a Nollywood actor who could not win the 2003 election, adding that he should focus on Nollywood instead of running for presidency.

Speaking on Channels Television and analysing the chance of Obi in the 2023 presidential election, El-Rufai claimed that Obi wouldn’t score more than one per cent in Sokoto and two per cent in Katsina States, respectively.

In his reaction to the statement, the former Anambra State Governor said he would work hard to improve on the Nollywood industry.

Obi replied el-Rufai on Sunday, February 5, while featuring on Arise Television’s Sunday Show Program.

He said he would focus on the Nollywood if elected president, calling on Nigerian actors to support him since el-Rufai had tagged him as one.

He said, “I thank el-Rufai for what he said, at least he gave me some percentages; I’ll work hard to improve on that. The Entertainment Industry is one of the engines that will develop us as a nation, I’ll focus on that and Nollywood.

“And since he said I’m an actor, I’m calling on all those in the entertainment industry, including Nollywood, to support me.”
