The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has reacted to the statement by the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, that he (Obi) was acting Nollywood and could not win the presidential election.

However, Obi 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 the Nollywood. “And since he said I’m an actor, I’m calling on all those in the entertainment industry, including the Nollywood, to support me.”also reports that https://punchng.com/obi-actors-guild-knocks-el-rufai-over-nollywood-comment/ over his comment, saying “the statement is intended to belittle and demean the intellectual capacity of an actor. Using actors to make sarcastic examples of an unintelligent person is arrogant and condescending of a public office holder.

“The statement is very offensive and demeaning to the Actors Guild of Nigeria and Nollywood as a whole as it was purely intended to deride the acting profession.”All rights reserved.

I'm loving the way you're turning the lemons thrown at you to lemonade. Very sensible of you Sir. We the action youths of this great country are solidly behind you. Maturity, wisdom and humility = PeterObi 👌

PeterObi I'm so happy to hear this. Political candidate(Presidential)/ political party listing into it's manifesto and announcing the improvement of Nollywood is a profiting and great idea.

Excellent

Please give him a gateman role.

More volume our next coming president

Yeah right.

U always give them the real answer 🤣🤣u too Sabi book well well

E can pain!!!!! Smart President

A good example of, 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade'

Hmmmm... the way he did in Anambra.

PO is using trader (business) 🧠 for his campaign 😂😂😂 baba na goat for politics abeg 😃

Honestly, I'm falling in love with Obi, by the way he replies his critics. He is too intelligent not to be the president of Nigeria come Feb, 25th. God please make it for me.

Entertainment industry in anambra is marketed and distributed by Oj’s upper iweka onisha. Go and develop them there to bring out good movies instead of the junks to act produce and market in 24hrs

So Obi is saying that nollywood actors are underdeveloped and not competent to compete with global standards. Chai!!! Kate over to u gain

As he did in Anambra

When the government failed the youths and they invested their time and money to develop the music and movie industry to keep them out of trouble. It grew and gained world recognition. Only a jester like El-rufai, who knows nothing, than kneel and beg, will doubt their struggle.

Is not do

Peter the Rock upon which a New Nigeria will be built no gate of hail can stand against.

That is all no time to reply bitter fellow

I so love this man .. very selfless .. never distracted and turns insult on him to praise .. proud to be any type of job u claim on him so long it's hard work and have nothing to do with criminality.. God bless you my president

Intelligent Man; he has used the opportunity to sell himself to celebrities in the entertainment industry Wise and classy man

Word of wisdom.

What a brilliant answer
