Special Adviser to Governor Willie
Obiano of Anambra State on Nollywood and Entertainment, Bob Manuel Udokwu is an
actor who has taken to politics with the same vigour he has taken to acting.
He recently disclosed to Showtime
that going into politics won’t stop entertainers from being performers.
In his words, ”Do you know how many
engineers that are in politics? Do you know how many doctors that are in
politics? I think it’s only sentimental that people say that entertainers are
not supposed to be in politics. We are not even up to ten. It shows a shift in
the mindset of the people and we as people in entertainment.
There was a time we were not given
any chance in this country .Today, even the Federal government recognizes the
importance of entertainment .
The rebasing of the Nigerian economy
was just based on two factors- Oil and gas and Nollywood. Let me allay the
fears of the public right now , going into politics won’t stop us from being
performers” he quipped.
