Ronke Oshodi-Oke Defends Politician Support for Money
On August 25, 2023, veteran Nollywood actress Ronke Ojo, known as Ronke Oshodi-Oke, made headlines after discussing her readiness to support politicians for monetary compensation during an interview with African A-List. She expressed that while she does not wish to engage deeply in Nigerian politics, she should not be criticized for her political endorsements.
Oshodi-Oke stated, “My people, if you see me standing behind any politician, know that Ronke wants to eat. She is looking for something to put food on the table.
Just leave me, let me eat. Do not insult or drag me.” Her remarks have reignited discussions about her past political involvement, where she admitted to accepting money to campaign for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Initially, she supported the APC with the hope of improving Nigeria but later expressed regret, particularly regarding the government's response to the October 2020 #EndSARS protests.
