2023: Tinubu Nurtures Talent, has Vision for Nigeria – Bimbo Akintola

Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola, has declared support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

She made this known during an interview on YourView, a TVC talk show on Friday.

Giving reasons for her choice, she said that Tinubu develops talent and has a vision for Nigeria, adding that he extends his kind gestures to the movie industry because he has helped people without knowing them.

“Asiwaju builds talent. He finds people who can do things. Look at his cabinet when he was governor, those are the names we call now. Fashola, Osinbajo, all these people came from his cabinet. And so-called many young names that we call in politics, they all came from where? Because Asiwaju sorted them and brought them on.

“When we lost Moji Olaiya (an actress), and she was not in the country, he brought her in and paid for everything. So many actors have received help from him and he doesn’t know them from anywhere. He helps, he builds talent. And I know that when he comes, when we see the people he is going to work with, we will be excited at the change that will happen to this country. I know he has a vision for Nigeria, and for me that is what is key,” she said.

Akintola is the latest on the list of Nollywood actors who are actively working for the election of Tinubu.

Jide Kosoko, Saheed Balogun, Ebun Oloyede, Joke Sylva are some of the other thespians who are on the same page with the APC candidate.
