Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has called for the South-East to be given a chance to lead Nigeria in the next presidential election.
Naijaonpoint reports that he shared his opinion in a video posted on his Instagram page.
The filmmaker urged Nigerians to support the idea based on fairness and balance among regions.
Edochie, who has been vocal in his support for President Bola Tinubu, surprised many with this position.
He had consistently urged citizens to remain patient with Tinubu’s leadership and the current economic challenges, often assuring that the country would soon see the results of the reforms.
Despite his loyalty to the present government, Edochie made it clear that he believes it is time for the South-East to lead the country.
He said: “The next President of Nigeria should come from the South-East in fairness and equity. That’s just the truth and that’s how it should be.”
Meanwhile, reality TV star Anita Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has declared her interest in venturing into politics.
Naijaonpoint reports that the former Big Brother Naija housemate made this known during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday, where she shared her thoughts on governance, youth involvement, and her home state, Rivers.
The 29-year-old beautician said she does not intend to remain a critic from the sidelines.
According to her, she would love to be part of those making decisions, though she has not settled on the specific position to pursue.
