According to Actress Clarion Chukwurah , Entertainers are going into Politics for the Money. Do you agree?

  Manyof our Nigerian entertainers are now delving into politics amongst them are 9ice, Desmond Elliot, Kate Henshaw, Tony Tetula  and actress Clarion Chukwurah thinks their decisions  is based on monetary benefits and values . Speaking exclusively to Punch, Clarion said a lot of these entertainers want to go into politics because they are not making that much money from their vocations.

"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?”

Clarion also criticized the leadership of the AGN. Ibinabo Fiberesima was re-elected AGN president yesterday

“I said earlier that I wanted to take charge of the AGN because I saw that those who were running the body lacked the experience necessary to turn it around and to change the face of the film industry. It was clear that those in charge had not real agenda for the guild and they didn’t know what to do to turn it around.

“Also, I observed that some people already felt that being in charge was the same thing as being in a position to hobnob with top politicians in the corridors of power and to get money from various interest groups in the country. And there was so much desperation on the part of the leadership of the guild to hold on to power because they see their position as a platform to make money.”
