Why I Want To Contest 2023 Presidential Election—Yul Edochie

Nigerian actor, Yul Edochie, has again reaffirmed his intentions to run for Presidency in the upcoming 2023 general elections.

This was made known in a post via his verified Facebook in response to an assertion made by Nigerian Disk Jockey, 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.”

Reacting to the post, Edochie said that time had come for the youths to engage 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.”

THE WHISTLER reported that the younger Edochie, who had contested and lost the last Anambra State governorship election, announced in January that he would be running for presidency come 2023.

Yul Edochie, after his declaration was endorsed by his father, Pete Edochie, to run for the 2023 presidency.

It could be recalled that he had shelved his initial plan to contest for the 2019 presidential election, saying: “After due consideration and consultations, I will no longer run for President of Nigeria, 2019.

“To my supporters, worry not. I remain committed to building a new Nigeria that works for all, irrespective of class, tribe, or religion. Together we shall achieve it. God bless.”
