Nollywood actress Ronke Oshodi has explained that Nigerians should not necessarily interpret her endorsement of politicians as an indication of genuine political support.
The actress said her involvement in political endorsements could be motivated by the need to make a living and provide for herself.
“If you see me endorsing politician, I’m hustling for survival,” Ronke Oshodi said.
Her comment has generated reactions among social media users, with some debating the role of entertainers in political campaigns and the reasons celebrities accept political endorsement deals.
Political endorsements by Nigerian entertainers have become increasingly common, particularly during election periods, with celebrities often using their large followings to promote candidates and political causes.
Oshodi's remarks have also sparked discussion about the economic realities faced by entertainers and whether accepting payment to campaign for a politician should be viewed separately from an individual's personal political beliefs.
The actress's statement comes amid increasing political activities and preparations ahead of Nigeria's 2027 general elections.
