Presidential Candidate of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has been endorsed by a group of Kano-based filmmakers and artists, otherwise known as Kannywood.

Yakubu Mohammed who spoke on behalf of Kannywood group said, “We need energetic leaders in this country and Atiku is the leader after heart.

“Kannywood is suffering from poor quality production and lack of market for its production. We still remember how the former President Goodluck Jonathan encouraged the film and entertainment industry financially to the tune of N200 million.

“We are appealing to Atiku to support us if he comes to power. So our support is for Atiku, and by the special grace of God, Atiku will be the next of President. We will vote and massively canvass support for Atiku” he stressed.

The Kannywood under the leadership of the popular Sani Danja, who participated in the interactive session with the PDP presidential candidate sang solidarity songs in support of Atiku.

Earlier, Alhaji Atiku promised to uplift the standard of the entertainment industry if elected into power in the forthcoming election.
