Nigerian Artistes Are Into Politics For The Money – Clarion Chukwura

Sensational Nollywod Actress, Clarion Chukwura is at it again with her interesting views! The most recent is her opinion about the reasons why most nigerian artistes seem to be flocking the political scene.

The seasoned actress has made it known in a recent interview with Punch that all the performers, especially Nollywood practitioners, who are joining partisan politics are sheer hypocrites. Clarion reiterated saying that most of the artistes who go into politics do so because they are not getting much money from their various jobs as entertainers.

She said and we quote:

"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?"
