I’ll take politicians’ money if they’re good – Esther Nwachukwu

Actress Esther Nwachukwu, also known as Esther Sky, has stated that she would be willing to accept financial support from politicians running in the 2027 general elections if she believes they are deserving candidates. In an interview with Saturday Beats, she explained, "If a politician offers me money, if it is a politician that does the right thing, someone that everybody knows is a good person, definitely I will take it.

Nobody is above money." However, she emphasized that she would not accept funds from a politician who she knows would not improve the nation's circumstances. Nwachukwu stated, "But, if it is a bad politician, who we know cannot take the country to a better place, I will not accept, no matter how broke I am, because the money that I will collect from a politician today will never be of help to my generation.

What we need is a better Nigeria." Her decision was driven by the desire to safeguard the country's future, particularly in light of the hardships many Nigerians are experiencing. "I was born and brought up in Lagos. But, I won't say I am Yoruba just because of that. It's not all about tribal bigotry. I cannot eat my future for the sake of today's peanuts," she concluded.
