Speaking during a recent interview on Naija FM Lagos, the 31-year-old actor said his move was driven by a desire to be directly involved in policymaking. He explained that the poor decisions of the current crop of politicians have affected him just like every other ordinary Nigerian.
Oworu added that the country has been steadily retrogressing over the years, stressing that he wants to be among those who will rise to rescue Nigeria from total collapse.
He also cited the aging of the present crops of politicians as one of the factors that influenced his decision to join politics.
“I decided to join politics because of how the country is going. I know how Nigeria was when I was younger, but now, things keep getting worse. And I want to start a family and raise my kids here.
“So, I have to make sure that I try my best to be among the policymakers because whatever policy that is being enacted, it would ultimately, affect me like every other common person.
“And also, most of the present crops of politicians are aging out and whatever policy they are making today, it is me and my friends who will be at the receiving end tomorrow,” he explained.
Olumide Oworu contested for the position of House of Assembly member, representing Surulere 1 constituency in Lagos State under the Labour Party during the 2023 elections but lost to his colleague, Desmond Elliott.
Despite the setback, Olumide Oworu’s interest in politics remains undeterred.
