Veteran Nollywood actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has urged her colleagues in the film industry who continue to support the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to rethink their position, citing the worsening insecurity in the country and the need to consider their legacy.
Speaking in a video broadcast, Aiyeola urged her colleagues not to let money, influence, and affluence cloud their conscience.
The actress made the appeal while reacting to the terrorist attack on Christians on Palm Sunday in Jos, Plateau State.
She said, “We woke up to another news of terrorist attack in Jos. But unfortunately, it is not trending as usual. It is another political season and I would like Nigerians on ground and those with voices on social media to search through their consciences and do the right thing.
“My colleagues, everything shouldn’t be about money, influence and affluence. Let us allow our conscience to lead us and do the right thing.
"My wonderful colleagues, I’m not throwing a shade at anybody and nobody can tell you how to swing politically but you should think of your generation’s future.”
