Before the Saturday, March 18, gubernatorial elections, a number of Nollywood veterans, up-and-coming performers, and actresses have made public statements endorsing the incumbent Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

The governor is running for re-election on the platform of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC).

Recently, there have been suggestions that Sanwo-Olu is fervently seeking re-election, and this may be what has been driving him lately in the state.

In what many have characterized as a move to win over Lagosians to his political ambition, the governor of Lagos State was recently seen shaking hands with churchgoers at a Christian worship center in the state.

In the lead-up to a crucial election struggle, Sanwo-Olu is confident in success because many prominent Nollywood actors have lined up behind him.

Before the presidential election, many entertainers publicly endorsed the governor in office, while others recently shown interest in the APC candidate.

Below are some Nollywood actors who have endorsed Sano-Olu

Jide Kosoko

Jide Kosoko happens to be the secretary of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council's Creative Directorate.

Despite everything, Badmus continues to back Governor Sanwo-campaign.
