Veteran actor Zack Orji has drummed support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.
Orji, who is the vice-president of Ambassadors of Voice for Change Initiative Nigeria, described Tinubu as one who would turn the economy of Nigeria around.
He said his unflinching support for Tinubu is premised on the fact that he (Tinubu) ran an all-inclusive government during his tenure as the governor of Lagos State.
According to him, there is no doubt that the former Lagos governor will replicate same on a national scale.
“My support for Bola Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu is both experiential and personal. I have lived in Lagos for over 40 years. I have always known this man as a chief crusader for the democratic consolidation of Nigeria,” the actor said in a video.
“I have always known him (Tinubu) as a man who stands for justice, equity, 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. 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. Though we differ in tribe and tongue, we stand tall and proud in solidarity and brotherhood. I know that when he becomes the president of this country, he will turn the economy around.
Orji further urged well-meaning Nigerians to join him in supporting Tinubu to emerge as the fifth democratically-elected president of Nigeria.
