Yul Edochie on Monday, April 23, 2018 took to his Instagram page to declare his intention for running for Presidency.
“Today I declare my interest to run for President of the greatest country in the world, Nigeria. A blessed country that has been crippled by decades of bad leadership. Enough is Enough!Fellow Nigerians, stand with me let us bring the problems of our country to the THE LAST BUS STOP!!!” he wrote.
Recall the actor, a candidate of the Democratic Peoples Congress, DPC, polled 145 votes in the 2017 governorship election in Anambra State.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in its final result showed that the actor who is also the son Nollywood veteran, Pete Edochie came 19 out of 37 contenders that jostled for the governorship stool.
Yul’s move to run from presidency has shown that the actor isn’t giving up on moving the country forward.
