Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has revealed that she has accepted an appointment as a Youth campaign coordinator from the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

The 16-year-old actress made her decision public on Monday in a post on Instagram.

“I’m Regina Daniels. Proud to be 100% Atikulated with Atiku Abubakar who is in the race to become Nigeria’s next President.

“I accept my appointment as Youth Campaign Coordinator For Nollywood with humility and youthful zeal.

“Atiku is a youth-friendly leader who has assured that every 4 out of 10 of his cabinet will be a youth. The drift is brazen,” she wrote.

Some heads of guilds in the Nigerian film industry were accused on January 18 of secretly collecting N250,000 each to mobilise members for Atiku.

Industry sources told Qed.ng that the money was paid for Nollywood practitioners to attend Atiku’s interactive session with the creative industry on Wednesday, January 16, at Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos.

Among the guilds present at the event were Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Directors Guild of Nigeria (DGN), Association of Movie Producers (AMP), Creative Designers Guild of Nigeria (CDGN) and Association of Nollywood Core Producers (ANCOPS).
