Pete Edochie Endorses Son, Yul’s Governorship Ambition
When Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie announced his intention to run for the forth coming Anambra State gubernatorial election, the news greeted his fans with shock.
While some presumed that the popular movie star, who took after his father, Pete Edochie could only be joking or perhaps trying to promote a new movie, Yul has maintained that he is indeed ready for the mantle of leadership as his father has given him his full support.
“Yes, my father, Pete Edochie, my mother, sibling and even my wife have given me their full support. So, I’m ready for the task ahead.
“I’m not too young at all. I don’t see any limitations in my life. The current president of France is 39. Emir of Qatar is 35. The western world have realized the urgent need to fix the problems of the people and that urgent need must be met by young, vibrant, intelligent and decisive leaders.
” Public office shouldn’t be a place for retirement. And for me politics is not, and shouldn’t be a hit or die affair. I believe God has destined for me to win. If God changes his mind and gives it to someone else, I’ll congratulate him and offer myself in any capacity I can function to fix the people’s problems. We all want a good life for the masses,” he said while speaking to an online media.
He added that governance should be about fixing people’s problems, giving them a good life and eradicating poverty.
Since declaring his intention of going into politics and vying for an elective post, other entertainers like Kcee, Terry G and even Basket Mouth have posted pictures declaring their intentions too. How serious they are is what is yet to be ascertained.
