Peter Obi, a presidential candidate of Nigeria’s Democratic Congress, mourns the death of veteran Nollywood actor Olu Jacobs in a tribute posted on X. Obi expresses sadness at the news and credits Jacobs with representing excellence and contributing to Nigeria’s film and creative sector.
Both outlets describe Obi portraying Jacobs as a symbol of Nigerian excellence and spirit. While the wording differs—one highlights Jacobs’ representation of “Nigerian excellence,” and the other emphasizes “excellence of Nigerian spirit”—the thrust is consistent: Obi publicly recognizes Jacobs’ impact on the creative industry and his legacy following his passing.
