Veteran Nollywood actress and United Nations peace ambassador,
Clarion Chukwura who has been outspoken lately on sundry issues feels there is need for the truth to be told concerning the trend of entertainers venturing into politics. The mother of celebrity music video director,
Clarence Peters, says there’s no two ways to it and the only reason for the venture into their new found interests has something to do with making more money.
“The motive of those who are embracing partisan politics is purely monetary. Let us call a spade a spade. If you tell me that you want to go into politics to serve the people, I would want to look at your record first.
“I want to see what you have done to better the lives of the people in your immediate community. How many boreholes have you sunk in the community? How many hours of community service have you given for free over the last four or five years? How well are you known as somebody who yearns for improvement in social development?” she told
Punch Newspaper.
