Veteran Actress Blasts Artistes Who Go Into Politics For Money
Veteran actress, Clarion Chukwurah, has called out to her colleagues
who go into partisan politics, saying they do so because of money.
Is actress Clarion Chukwurah right that artistes go into politics for money?(thenationonlineng.net)
The rate at which Nigerian artistes from every sector of the
entertainment industry, are going into politics, is giving veteran
actress, Clarion Chukwurah, cause for concern, as she believes those going into the murky waters of politics are doing so because of money.
Clarion who is known for stirring up controversies as well as saying things the way they truly are, takes a knock on the likes of Desmond Elliot, 9ice, Tony Tetuila, Bob Manuel-Udokwu, Kenny Saint Brown, Funke Adesiyan, and many others who believe they have what it takes to give their people adequate representation, saying they are actually after what they will gain out of partisan politics without having the people in mind.
In an interview with the Punch Newspaper recently, Clarion says she sees the rush to go into politics by her colleagues as sheer hypocrisy since the movie industry is no more paying as much money as it used to do.

Hear Clarion:
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?
