Actor Zak Orji and wife, actress Ngozi Orji, have declared their support for separate presidential candidates for the 2023 general elections.
While Zack Orji is rooting for the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, the wife, Ngozi is throwing her weight behind the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Earlier at the weekend, Zack Orji, who is the vice-president of Ambassadors of Voice of Change, in a video on social media had said:
“My support for Asiwaju Tinubu is personal. I’ve lived in Lagos for over 40 years of my life. I’ve always known this man as a chief crusader for the democratic consolidation of our country Nigeria.
“I’ve always known him (Tinubu) as a man who stands for equity, fair play and national cohesion.
“In his time as Governor of Lagos State, he ran an all-inclusive government drawing people from different ethnic extractions into the Executive Council as decision makers to run the affairs of the state.
“People who came from different ethnic extractions were given an opportunity to be part of decision making in Lagos state. I know with a high degree of certainty that on a national scale, he’ll do the same.
“Though we differ in tribe and tongue, in brotherhood we stand tall. I know when he (Tinubu) becomes the president of this country, he will turn the fortune of this country around.”
Hours later, the wife, after attending Revival Church Assembly, Ogba, Lagos, led by Apostle Anselm Madubuko, where Obi visited, wrote on an Instagram post that she is ‘Obidient’.
Ngozi, who shared a video and photos of Peter Obi at the church service wrote, “It was An Awesome Time Today. That Moment Our Apostle General Anselm Madubuko Introduced H E Sir Peter Obi. What an Awesome Way To Wrap up the AZUSA 20 Conference. God bless you Sir for Coming. We are OBIdient. We Move.”
