Nollywood actor and son of
veteran movie star, Pete Edochie,Yul Edochie, Friday, declared his intention to join the Anambra State gubernatorial race.
The handsome actor made the declaration on his Instagram page when he placed a campaign poster that has his image encrypted on it. The poster read,“My name is Yul Edochie. And I’m running for Governor of Anambra
State. 2017. #TheLastBusStop.
He equally stated that Nigerians need
a new brand of leaders who will put the masses first, hammering that
the older ones have failed the country. In his words, “We need a
new brand of Leaders who will put the masses first. The older ones
have failed us for too long… They have come to THE LAST BUS STOP!!!
The young Edochie, however, did not mention the political party, whose platform he intends to contest election.
But reacting to his post, some
followers who supported him, said that, it is time for Nigeria to
have an intelligent, energetic, young and vibrant youth who will help
address our political system for a viable economy.
Whereas other supporters dramatically
quizzed him with; which political party are you vying the position
from? If the 35 year old actor wins, he will be the first
democratically elected governor in Nigeria and among few entertainers
who have succeeded in achieving their political goals like Desmond
Elliot who is currently representing Surulere 1 constituency at the
Lagos state house of assembly.
