Singer Paul Play has said there is nothing wrong with celebrities endorsing politicians.
The ‘Angel of My Life’ singer stated this in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
According to Paul Play, celebrities who endorse people in power do that to sustain their livelihood.
The singer also pointed that those who are questioning the integrity of celebrities should also attack printers who make posters for politicians, traders who sell clothes to them, and caterers who provide the food during political events.
He wrote: “First of all, POLITICS is a game of power tussle. So any celebrity endorsing an aspirant is doing that to sustain his livelihood. Whenever you’re questioning the integrity of celebrities, do not forget to question the integrity of the printer who got the job for the posters and souvenirs and programme booklet, do not forget the Aso Ebi trader who travelled out of the country to prepare the special Ankara for the politician.
“What about the caterer and the drink seller who provided food for the campaign? The PA system company that provided the sound and stage nko?What about the person who rented out the venue?
“The hotels that accommodate the meetings and provide halls for the campaign? And finally what about the people who collect peanuts to fill the campaign ground every year? Are they not Nigerians ?
“Trying to single out celebrities in this blame is unfair. Please add these other people to the list. At the end of the day you will find out that we are all involved.”
