Veteran Nollywood actor Nkem Owoh has explained why he is not publicly supporting any political party.
The thespian who gave his explanation in an interview with Punch said that people have long been trying to to draw him into politics but he has decided to stay away from it.
According to him, Nigeria will become a better country when we have reasonable leadership in all directions.
He said; ‘‘I will just go and vote. I have tried to reject Nigerian politics in its entirety even though I know there are still some good people inside the polity, but the system is like a diseased mesh.

“People have tried to draw me into politics but I know that if I put my head into it, I will be infected with the disease and I don’t want it. So, I prefer to stay at the flank. The country will become better when we have reasonable leadership in all directions. And soon it is going to come because I can see the rumples.
“My neck cannot carry it (politics). The thing is, I like where I can smile; you see that I am smiling and you are smiling. Also, I travel and move out alone as I am not afraid of anything. If I were to be in politics, I would have probably gotten to the height where I would be afraid and I don’t want to be afraid.” The actor added.
