Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has endorsed Labour Party candidate Peter Gregory Obi in the next general elections.

Many celebrities have been criticized for being politically neutral in the next election, but Ojo has finally backed Obi.

The actress uploaded a Labour Party flyer with Obi’s face on it and declared him her pick.

In her words, “My choice is @peterobigregory we need a breath of fresh air & I strongly believe in his vision & mission, most especially his management skills. Nigeria cannot be repaired in 4 years but we need a positive starting point for a better Nigeria so that our children & the ones yet unborn won’t have to face this hardship we’re facing. We need to start building a system that will work for the betterment of our people & our country.”

The actress stated that she would vote for him since it is not about religion or tribe, but rather about responsibility and alleviating the agony and difficulties of the average man.

She wrote, “We need accountability for every wrong or right decision that is made …. Lies will no longer slide. This vote is not about ethnicity & religion for me….. It’s about ending the struggle & pain of the common man. It’s about not letting the death of all those who lost their lives during the endsars protest go in vain. This is deep for me, but unfortunately, I can’t campaign bcos I’m a target if . od willing, I pray that his Excellency Peter Obi wins & I pray he doesn’t disappoint us when he gets in, so help us God. If he doesn’t win, whoever wins I pray leads Nigeria right, if not, Nigeria will not be able to stand the doom that will await.”

Many people, including celebrities, praised her for finally demonstrating solidarity with the “Obedient” campaign.

Ojo is not the only celebrity who has backed Obi; the Psquare pair, Mr. Macaroni, Kenneth Okonkwo, and Nkechi Blessing, to name a few, have all backed him.
