Nollywood veteran actor, Zack Orji has pledged his support for Imo state governor, Hope Uzodimma for a second term.

Naija News reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) scheduled the Imo governorship election for November 11.

In the video that surfaced, the actor is seen urging the people of Imo state to vote for Uzodimma and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to Zack, who spoke partly in Igbo, Uzodimma should be voted in come November 11 governorship election because he is “a man with an uncommon hunger and passion for the progress of Imo state and the well-being of every Imi citizen.”

“Vote Senator Hope Uzodimma as the next governor of Imo state, let the good works continue, let the progress continue. Thank you, God bless Imo state,” he concluded.

Orji, alongside top Nollywood stars, paid a visit to Tinubu in September 2022. During the visit, the former governor of Lagos State said the highly productive talents of filmmakers and actors must yield bountiful benefits for them and Nigeria.
