Actor Nkem Owoh Reportedly Rejects N10m Offer To Endorse Tinubu For President

Veteran Nollywood actor, Nkem Owoh, popularly known as Osuofia, has reportedly rejected an offer of N10 million to endorse the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, in the forthcoming 2023 general election.

It was gathered that the actor was offered the usual N5 million for endorsement of the candidate, but he refused. Even when the offer was doubled on account of his worth, he still refused.

According to sources, Osuofia said N10m cannot buy his endorsement as the 2023 election is critical for the collective good of all citizens and would never be sold.

The actor, who noted that not everybody is amenable to the persuasiveness of money, said that the will of the people should prevail in the forthcoming election.

This comes a few weeks after another veteran actor, Chiwetalu Agu expressed displeasure over the lack of integrity and morality by some entertainers whom he said allow money to sway their opinions.
