Veteran actress Patience Ozokwor, alongside Alex Usifo and other entertainers have thrown their weight behind the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

During a meeting tagged 40 Milion Ballots Movement in collaboration with Celebrities for Peter Obi (CEPO), the veterans unveiled a donation campaign to support Peter Obi and his running mate, Baba-Ahmed Datti, ahead of the 2023 elections.

While addressing the attendees, Mama G recounted how former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan contributed to the growth of movie industry.

She said;

“Someone took up our matter. He started sending us…..did you notice our pictures are better now? We are beginning to use better quality materials. Somebody did it.

“During the time of Jonathan, he sent a lot of us outside the country. He wasn’t announcing what he was doing, he was just working.

“He sent a lot of our directors out to go and upgrade and learn more. They came back with good ideas

“He sent some producers, cameramen. Some of them went to America, London, Jos….they upgraded and they came back and things became better.

“So, we have seen somebody who’s going to lead us again and take us to our destination. His name is Mr Peter Obi. That man ehn, he surprises me. His not chief, he’s not anything; he’s just Mister.

“All of us in the industry, apart from a few, we are suddenly behind Peter Obi.”

The group convener, Mr Kennedy Iyere, described the initiative as a youth-driven 2023 ballot revolution.

He noted that it was meant to raise funds for the actualisation of Obi’s presidential bid.

“We don’t want money to be an issue. The determination is in young people to take back their country and rescue Nigeria from the precipice. He said.

“This is what Fund40MB is all about. An account has been created for the donation for campaigns to raise money worldwide for the various support groups of Peter Obi to carry out rural sensitisation, door to door campaigns and other programmes.

“This is independent of Peter Obi and the Labour Party. We are financing every interest group that will work for democracy and a democratic transition in favour of Peter Obi.

“The funds we are also going to raise through this medium shall be used to fight rigging, violence and all forms of malpractice. That’s why the FUND40MB Donation Campaign has been kicked started today.”

Speaking further he said the fundraising was to confront politicians who might want to use money as strength to fight the will of God’s purpose, which would not work.

Adding that the step has become imperative for the nation’s survival, as the youth are now rising from their sleep to take back their nation come 2023.

He said that political elites had weaponised poverty to remain relevant and perpetuate their continuous stay in power.

“When youths have risen up, anything is possible. The youth are ready to take back their nation. The time for Nigeria’s political redemption is now.

“Nigeria has just one upward option, and that is the youth revolution. Peter Obi is no longer himself, he has become a global phenomenon.

“2023 is going to be a very peculiar election with two players-masses against the elites, and the masses must win the game.”

According to him, Nigerians and non-Nigerians would contribute to the funding of Obi’s campaigns, saying the former Anambra governor deserved assistance for his campaign to be the most celebrated.

Among the entertainers present for the meeting were Alex Usifo, John Okafor, Okon Lagos, Paul Obazele, Rita Arum, Klint Da Drunk and others.
