Veteran actress Clarion Chukwurah in
a new interview with PUNCH described the rush, especially by Nollywood
practitioners, to join partisan politics as sheer hypocrisy. According to her,
some artistes want to go into politics because they are not getting much money
from their vocations. Clarion told Punch:
The motive of those who are embracing partisan politics is
purely monetary. Let us call a spade a spade. If you tell me that you want to
go into politics to serve the people, I would want to look at your record first.
I want to see what you have done to better the lives of the
people in your immediate community. How many boreholes have you sunk in the
community? How many hours of community service have you given for free over the
last four or five years? How well are you known as somebody who yearns for
improvement in social development?”
