Nollywood actor, Yul
Edochie who few weeks ago announced his interest to contest for the Presidency
in the 2019 general elections, has disclosed why he dropped the decision.
Yul Edochie who disclosed
that he was not under any form of threat to drop the decision on contesting for
the presidency, had written on Twitter;
“After due considerations
and consultations, I will no longer run for President of Nigeria in 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.”
In an interview with
Saturday Beats, the actor said;
“I made it obvious, after
due considerations and consultations, I decided not to run for the post of the
presidency anymore,” he said.
On if he will contest for
another political position, Yul Edochie said he could not ascertain at the
moment if he would.
“Right now I can’t say, but
I remain fully committed to building a better Nigeria. I explained to my fans
that they have nothing to worry about, it is a huge thing so you do a lot of
consultations and put things in place and if certain things are not well
placed, it is better not start or there will be issues. But I am fine; they
shouldn’t feel I was threatened by anybody,” he added.
The actor has bragged about
winning President Buhari in a free and fair election. He also advised President
Buhari to call it quits after 2019.
“I hear you want to run for
the second time in office I decided to do this video, please sir don’t bother.
I don’t think Nigeria, Nigerians can endure four or more years of whats going
on right now. Believe its really terrible, the hardship is too much,” Yul said.
