VIDEO: Zack Orji wear asoebi, which kain embarrassment be dis – Backlash as actors are spotted at APC primary

Twitter was on fire last night, Tuesday June 7 when some Nollywood actors were spotted at the APC presidential primaries.

Popular actors like Zack Orji, Gentle Jack, Emma Ehumadu aka Labista, Andy chukwu, among others were seen on the podium at the event, waving the Nigerian flag as Timi Dakolo’s song, Great Nation was played.

Recall Timi Dakolo called out the ruling party for using his song at the event without his authorization. 

This singular act by the actors has however garnered a lot of mixed reactions from tweeps who aren’t sure if these thespians were at the function as delegates, as supporters or simply as entertainers.

The reactions from tweeps, might not be unconnected to the fact that Nigerians are constantly complaining to the ruling party about the hardship, insecurity in the nation.

Some netizens believe the actors have every right to support whomever they choose, while others believe they showed support due to the monetary factor involved.

In all, these actors have received more backlash than praise from tweeps. See video and some reactions below:
