The Nollywood actors in Delta, under the aegis of ‘Sheriffied Nollywood Movement’, say they will rally support for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, ahead of the 2027 elections.

The movement is powered by the commissioner for culture and tourism, Darlington Ijeh.

Speaking at the unveiling of the movement in Asaba, Mr Ijeh said it was intended to harness the popularity, public influence and social media reach of Nollywood personalities for political mobilisation.

Mr Ijeh said the entertainers’ extensive fan base provides an opportunity to engage citizens, influence public conversations and disseminate political messages to a wider audience. 

He further said the movement would provide a coordinated platform for members to deploy their influence in support of Messrs Tinubu and Oborevwori.

Mr Ijeh urged members of the movement to embrace hope, courage and unity, declaring that their time to shine had come.

Responding on behalf of the group, Frank Otoide, aka Frank De Don, pledged members’ commitment to the movement, expressing optimism that their collective efforts would promote meaningful change.

Mr Otoide said the group was determined to sustain its momentum and contribute to the political mobilisation for Mr Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

The unveiling attracted Nollywood actors, actresses and other industry stakeholders.
