Zack Orji Faces Backlash for Supporting Tinubu Rally

Veteran Nollywood actor Zack Orji came under scrutiny after leading a rally in Abuja to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The event, primarily attended by Nollywood stars, praised Tinubu's achievements in infrastructure and security while calling for an end to kidnappings across Nigeria.

Orji served as the Deputy Director General of the Tinubu Support Movement and urged Nigerians to back Tinubu's reform agenda ahead of the 2027 elections. The rally was organized amid growing public concern over insecurity and economic challenges, including rising inflation and the high cost of living.

However, social media quickly shifted focus to Orji's physical appearance during the rally, with many users questioning his public support for the administration despite widespread economic struggles. Critics accused him of seeking political relevance rather than addressing pressing issues, while others defended his right to support political causes.

This incident underscores the increasing involvement of celebrities in Nigeria's political landscape.
