Zack Orji’s wife shun husband’s Tinubu campaign, joins Peter Obi
Nollywood A-list actor, Zack Orji, in recent times have come under fire for his role in support of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
In a viral video, Orji reiterated his commitment to the Tinubu project.
“I know that when he becomes the President of this country, he will turn the economy around for the better”, he said.
Orji, who is the vice President of the Ambassadors for Voice for Change, said his support for Tinubu is based on personal experience.
“I have always known him as a man who stands for equity, justice, fair play and national cohesion.
“In his time as 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.
“People who came from different ethnic extractions were allowed 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, charity and brotherhood, we stand tall and proud.
“I know that when he becomes the President of this country, he will turn the economy around for the better.”
In a bizarre twist, his wife, who is also an actress, has declared herself “Obidient”, a term used by the supporters of Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State.
Obi is the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
Taking to her instagram page Sunday she discussed the visit of Obi to Apostle Anselm Madubuko.
She shared a video and photos of Peter Obi at the church service, and wrote: “It was An Awesome Time Today. That Moment Our Apostle General Anselm Madubuko Introduced H E Sir Peter Obi. What an Awesome Way To Wrap up AZUSA 20 Conference. God bless you Sir for Coming. We are OBIdient. We Move.”
