Some Nigerians on Twitter have criticized Yoruba actors who endorsed the national leader and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, for president in 2023.
The likes of Jide Kosoko, Adebayo Salami popularly known as Oga Bello, Taiwo Hassan popularly known as Ogogo, Yinka Quadri, Toyin Adegbola, among other notable actors and actresses have posted a video to support Tinubu’s presidential candidacy.
Meanwhile, their standpoint with the former Lagos State Governor did not go well with some Nigerians on Twitter, thus, expressing their displeasure.
See some of their tweets below:
PSquare are free to support Peter Obi.
Yoruba Actors & Actress are free to support BAT or Atiku.My concern is; How someone will see Peter Obi & still go and vote for BAT or Atiku.
Awon Alatenuje !!!

Not surprised with that “Yorrywood” endorsement of BAT, the 2023 election is fast becoming ethnicised.
Proud to see my candidate running determinedly on a strictly nationalist agenda of unification and healing the ethnic divides.
BAT or Atiku?
Atiku all the way for me👍🏽💯✅— 'Demola Olarewaju (@DemolaRewaju) June 29, 2022
Jide Kosoko and every Yoruba man can go ahead & campaign for Tinubu. Psquare and every Igbo person is free to campaign for @PeterObi but before you make this a Tribal war ask yourself this question, is the price of cooking gas different from tribe to tribe? E dey touch everybody

The only reason they're saying jide kosoko is a sellout is because an average Igbo man believes Yoruba people are sellouts.
Their prejudice will always popup.

So, they are supporting him because he supported the Yoruba movie industry. So when he becomes president, what happens? Africa Magic Yoruba makes Nigeria a better nation? We enjoy security because Jide Kosoko starred in a movie?
Why are you guys so selfish and vile? https://t.co/CHmDkmFVA3

Anyone can support anyone they like, including Jide Kosoko. But it will be a horrible and inhumane idea to support an incapacitated candidate for selfish gains.
Celebrities are important in the nation building. I expected most of the celebrities to be wary of the danger ahead.

The same jide Kosoko and his clowns of actors supported the sham protest “ OCCUPY NIGERIA “ and also campaigned for buhari, this bleaching cream grandpa is coming to tell you to vote for his person.
