Segun Arinze's opinion on Nigerian celebrities going into Politics

“Someone who decides to run or come into an office knows why he or she decided to run for that office in the first place. I don’t think they are going into politics for the money. I’m not going to be one of the people who would come out and say they are going into politics for the money. But they are going there to positively affect society.”

“They are role models, people look up to them, they talk to people and they listen to them. Being a role model alone is a burden for them.
