Nigerians have begun to react on social media following the open endorsement of All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, by the Yoruba Nollywood actors.

The actors declared their support in a trending video online shared by a veteran actor, Yinka Quadri, where some of his colleagues took turns to endorse Tinubu’s candidacy.

The actors mentioned that their support for the APC national leader had become imperative following his support for the movie industry, practitioners, and the ex-governor’s influence across the country.

Those featured in the video clip were Yinka Quadri, Jide Kosoko, Fausat Balogun, Taiwo Hassan, Femi Adebayo, Shola Kosoko, Faithia Williams, Saheed Balogun, Murphy Afolabi, and Eniola Ajao among others.

As at the time of filing this report, the post is currently one of the top trends on Twitter as Nigerians on Twitter expressed concerns over the Yoruba actors’ support for Tinubu as many outrightly condemned their position. But several other Twitter users equally praised the actors’ open action, saying they are free to support any candidates of their choice, while exercising their fundamental rights as Nigerians.

Read some of the Twitter reactions:
