• Tony Umez has blown hot at politicians who think it’s their birthright to rule Nigeria

• Giving reasons for the endorsement, Tony said the Labour Party candidate isn’t perfect, but he seems to be on the right path, as against others

Popular veteran actor, Tony Umez has blown hot at politicians who think it’s their birthright to rule Nigeria.

The 56 year old actor also subtly endorsed the candidacy of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for the 2023 election.

Giving reasons for the endorsement, the Nigerian actor said the Labour Party candidate isn’t perfect, but he seems to be on the right path, as against others.

Tony Umez, who made his position known in his interview with BBC, said he would opt for Obi as president if he were to vote as soon as tomorrow. He said:

“Some think it’s their birthright to rule Nigeria. I don’t know where that came from. I am not saying Peter Obi is a good man, but he’s saying the right things and has done the right things.

“There is much rage right now. Nigeria is blessed with great human and natural resources, but we have not been blessed with good leadership and the youth are angry about how things turned out.

“There are some people that have been thrown up that I feel are not credible enough to rule us. I think if you are part of a problem, you can not be part of the solution.”
