2027: Nollywood actor Olumide Oworu declares bid for House of Representatives

Actor Olumide Oworu has declared that he will run for the Surulere 1 seat in the House of Representatives in 2027 under the APM.

Actor and politician Olumide Oworu has declared his bid for the House of Representatives seat for Surulere 1 Federal Constituency, Lagos State, in the 2027 general elections.

Oworu made the announcement on Tuesday in a The Nation, where he unveiled his campaign poster under the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

Recalling his first attempt at the seat in 2023, he wrote:

“In 2023, we dared to believe that things could be different. We stepped out, we organised, and we proved that the youth of Surulere Constituency 1 are ready for governance driven by conscience.”

The actor said “administrative hurdles” kept their names off the 2023 ballot, but his supporters’ resilience showed their vision “was never a passing phase.”

Announcing his return to the race, he said he was “incredibly proud” to seek the seat again.

He urged his supporters to back his campaign, saying: “I look forward to your continued support as we work together to Reset Nigeria.”
