The veteran Nollywood actor, Zack Orji, has come under criticism after appearing at a solidarity rally in Abuja supporting President Bola Tinubu’s reelection bid.
The rally was organised by the political movement Re-elect Tinubu For Inclusive Nigeria (RTIFN) under the slogan ‘Relax, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria’.
Orji, who serves as the movement’s deputy director general, joined other Nollywood actors and stakeholders as they marched through parts of the Federal Capital Territory.
However, his appearance at the event has triggered strong reactions online, with many social media users questioning both the political engagement and his health condition as seen in circulating videos.
Some users focused on his physical appearance, noting his slow movement during the march, which sparked concern due to his recent health struggles.

Another user, TWEETORACLE (@AURACOOL), said: “ZACK ORJI FELL OFF SO BADLY !!!!! He looks like a vegetable, barely living yet clinging to the failed renewed hope agenda of Thiefnubu. What a Hopeless loss !”
“How much could Tinubu have dolled out to Zack Orji that would make him march on the roads shouting ‘On Your Mandate’ while he’s visibly very sick and frail?✍️” wrote afrisagacity (@afrisagacity).
“Bro forget the fooling first, are we sure they are mentally okay? Like why Zack Orji dey move like that?” said eyekage (@eyekage).
Daniel Regha (@DanielRegha) also reacted, writing: “I can’t put into words the level of disappointment from Zack Orji.”
Benjamin (@Benjamin6747) added: “From the way Zack Orji is walking, it’s shows that he’s not even proud of himself and what he’s doing. Bought set of people.”
Obaskki (@Obaskki) wrote: “Nigerian politics exposed alot of things in the entertainment industry. Many of those celebs we admired in the past while watching their movies, are failures in reality and are not worth even folowing let’s alone idolizing. Look at Zack Orji dancing on this mandate”
Mr. Papito (@1danfulcreation) said: “Imagine Zack Orji looking like this and still campaigning for Tinubu in the name of ‘Relax Tinubu is Fixing Nigeria’. Someone that should be taking care of his health. Hmm”
Meanwhile, another user, AngryNigerian (@BenkahMassive was also referenced in reposted clips), echoed similar concerns, questioning his involvement in the rally.
