Yul Edochie, a Nigerian actor, has reaffirmed his intention to run for President in the upcoming 2023 general elections.
This was revealed in a post on his verified Facebook in response to a claim made by Nigerian DJ Big N.
The DJ had said, “What is going on? 14 months to yet another election and the youths still haven’t come forward with a representative. If the older politicians are proactive and already have candidates, then we need not complain of what we end up with. Wake up Nigeria. Wake up.”
In response to the post, Edochie stated that the time had come for young people to get involved in politics.
He said, “My dear brother @djbign I saw your post this morning about the youths not presenting a candidate yet.
“Thank you so much for your concern. My name is Yul Edochie and I’m running for President of Nigeria in 2023. I declared my interest months ago.
“I humbly ask for your support. I believe that by posting me on your page, putting in a few words, and supporting us through every other means at your disposal, our movement will gain more momentum, and certainly many others will join.
“Victory awaits us. Thank you, brother. God bless you. God bless Nigeria.”
