Why I stopped political campaigns – Actor Yemi Solade

Renowned actor Yemi Solade has shared insights into his decision to refrain from actively supporting politicians during elections, different from the approach taken by many of his peers in the entertainment industry.

In an interview with Gboha TV, Solade disclosed that while he once engaged in political advocacy common among his colleagues, he eventually reconsidered due to what he perceives as the insincerity prevalent in political circles.

Additionally, Solade revealed a troubling pattern wherein politicians often pursue romantic relationships with ladies in the Nollywood industry.

Instead, he emphasized the importance of focusing on his own craft, stating that politicians should seek support from individuals like himself, rather than the other way around.

He said, “You can never see me campaigning or supporting any politician. They are not worth it. I used to do it in the past until I applied wisdom and advised myself. Politicians have their own jobs; some are doctors, lawyers, surveyors, accountants, economists, and architects. Politics is just a game. I will not be running around for one politician, I can never, they are full of lies and deceit.
