2023: Zack Orji Throws Weight Behind Tinubu, Twitter Users React

Veteran Nollywood actor Zack Orji has declared his support for the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential flagbearer Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a video posted on Twitter by the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, Orji said that his support for the Tinubu is both experiential and personal.

Orji mentioned that during Tinubu's time as Lagos State governor, his administration included people from different ethnic groups.

“My support for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is both experiential and personal.

"I have lived in Lagos for over 40 years of my life,” Orji said.

“I have always known this man as a chief crusader for the democratic consolidation of our country Nigeria.

"I have always known him as a man who stands for equity, justice, fair play and national cohesion.

“In his time as the Governor of Lagos State, he ran an all-inclusive government, drawing people from different ethnic extractions into the executive council as decision makers to run the affairs of the state. There is nothing like this!

“People who came from different ethnic extractions were given an opportunity to be part of the decision-making of Lagos State.

"And I know with a high degree of certainty, that on a national scale, when he becomes the President of Nigeria, he will do likewise. This is what we need in this country.

“I know that when he becomes the President of this country, he will turn the economy around for the better.

"So, join me to support this man, to turn the fortunes of this country around for the better.”

Thank you, Zack Orji, for this insightful and well thought out support. For those who are old enough to have lived in Lagos before 1999, let us continue to educate the much younger ones about the revolution that Lagos is today, the foundation of which was laid by @officialABAT. pic.twitter.com/UDwpdM5jmp

I am angry that people are attacking Zack Orji for his presidential choice.
The man has the right to choose whomever he wants for president.
He has just one vote and no longer has any fans that are likely to listen to him anymore.
Allow him make his choice.

Tinubu would have been a better presidential candidate in the late 90s, and early 2000. Too old to act now, people like Zack Orji belong to the past ? same kind of people transported Buhari to Nigeria in 2015 with untold results till date. What's happening to retirement village?
