Popular Yoruba actor, Saidi Balogun has said poverty is the major reason why most entertainers are campaigning for politicians today.

The ace actor and producer expressed his disappointment with the way entertainers are flocking around politicians in a chat with news men in Lagos.

According to Saidi, poverty is the reason why our people are running helter-skelter, campaigning for this politicians.

"There’s poverty in the industry. If there’s not, you won’t see our people flocking around all these politicians, campaigning, singing and dancing for them."

Saidi noted that he sees no reason why entertainers should be loyal to the politicians at this time when every member of the National assembly have not made any reasonable law on piracy which has devoured the industry.

He stressed that entertainers are supposed to be worshiped and not the other way round.

I think we’re supposed to be worshiped, not worshiping others. Even if a governor holds your hand, he’s supposed to be happy. But now, the reverse is the case,” He said.
