During an interview with Sunday Scoop, Agu said,
“I am not in that family (of actors). It (endorsement) depends on personal interest because politics is no longer the profession of sanitised citizens.

“These days, a lot of things have to do with money. Money can sway people. People are not patient again. What they count is what money does for them today, not tomorrow.

“Nobody is patient because things are hard. Integrity, morality and conscience have disappeared. What we are doing in Nigeria today puts me off”.

Chiwetalu Agu besides chastising celebrities who endorse politicians lamented that corruption has continued to thrive in Nigeria despite President Muhammadu Buhari’s promise to tackle it headlong.

He said, “Buhari said that he would come and fight corruption to the finish, to put corruption in a very dire situation. But when he came, money began to exchange hands.

“Everything has gone gaga. Integrity no longer counts. I have lost hope in the (current) regime. As a matter fact, what Buhari is doing is not leadership; it is ‘rulership’,” Chiwetalu Agu said as he condemned celebrities endorsing politicians for financial gain.
