Controversial Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has warned President Bola Tinubu not to be distracted by talks over the 2027 general election.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday evening, the movie producer, who is a staunch supporter of the president, said 2027 is still two years away.
Naijaonpoint reports that he advised Tinubu to focus on tackling insecurity and the rising cost of living as these are the most important issues.
He wrote: “To my dear President, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, @officialasiwajubat. Please don’t let politicians distract you with 2027. We’re still in 2025. High cost of living and high rate of insecurity are still ravaging Nigerians. These 2 remain the most pressing issues to deal with. May God lead you, sir.”
Recall that the actor recently appealed to President Bola Tinubu to revive the cashless policy introduced by former President, Muhammadu Buhari.
In a post shared on Instagram, the filmmaker explained that the policy had a positive impact on the nation’s economy during its initial rollout.
He said it strengthened the naira and brought down the prices of goods.
According to him, lower denomination notes like ₦5, ₦10, ₦20, and ₦50 began to hold value again when the policy was in place.
The actor also stated that the cashless system played a major role in reducing kidnapping across the country, as it limited access to physical cash by criminals.
