Key Nollywood Figures Fights Over Presidential Aspirants Endorsed by Ogbenijhybo(op): 9:10am On Mar 27, 2015
Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola and popular
Nollywood filmmaker and critic, Charles Novia recently
threw shades at each other over their choice of candidates
for the 2015 elections.
Reports say the Alan Poza producer had allegedly said 99%
of Nigerian entertainers are behind Goodluck Jonathan ; an
assertion Foluke didn’t take kindly to.
The actress reportedly replied: ‘You are obviously wrong
with that. Maybe that’s a figment of your imagination. You
can’t make collective statement on behalf of everyone. On
the contrary, many of us voluntarily support Buhari . In the
time of OBJ we knew how he favoured artistes, even
without him giving us a dime but in GEJ’s time, all of us are being wooed by appointments, money and recognition in Aso Rock. A lot of us feel we need someone that would
teach us how to fish, not one that would always give us
fish. True value can never be bought with money. So, Mr.
Charles Novia, don’t make a collective statement because
people like us that have values don’t take it lightly.’
Not one to let things go without a fight, Charles Novia
fired back: ‘When artistes collectively endorsed a person or
join hands in the majority to support a cause, the Heavens
listened and joined. Those within the fold who leave the
line make their choices and Freudian slips. They become
tragic heroes or comic villains. I respect the choices the
1% on the other side of the divide have made but when it
comes to GEJ, the entertainment sector is fully in the
majority in support of him.
‘Daramola, obviously you are part of the 1%. My points on
the subject suffice. Is it an old man who has 150 cows as
an asset who will teach you how to fish in his old age?
Sorry o. Many of us will stick to the tested fisherman from
Otueke, who knows how to catch fish and can teach us
too.’
The scenario is not new as Charles is a relentless
supporter of the incumbent president, Goodluck Jonathan
while Foluke is well known to be quite vocal in her support
for the main opposition party ( APC) and its flag-bearer,
Muhammadu Buhari .
