Nollywood Veteran, Nkem Owoh, has described the Nigerian political system as a ‘diseased mesh’.
The actor during an interview with PUNCH said he has refused to join politics despite being lured by many people
According to the actor, joining politics might get him infected by the disease affecting Nigeria’s political system.
Nkem Owoh added that he is comfortable with his comic personality and ability to move and travel around without being afraid.
He said: “Giving his views on the forthcoming election, the actor 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.”
