Nollywood star and politician Yul Edochie, has indicated his interest to run for the 2023 presidential election.

Edochie who clocked 39 on January 7, 2021, disclosed his interest to run for president after he shared a picture of himself on Instagram.

On the 14th of July 2017, Yul Edochie declared his intention to run for Governor of Anambra State. This declaration was made in anticipation of a Not Too Young To Run Bill passed by the senate of the federal government of Nigeria.

The declaration was however made official on the 22nd of August 2017, when he picked up the nomination form of the political party “Democratic Peoples Congress” and was eventually the flag bearer and gubernatorial candidate of the party to run for governor of Anambra State.

His caption read: “Happy 39th birthday to me. Last year l asked for wisdom, you gave it to me Lord.

“This year I ask for your grace oh Lord as I prepare to run for President of Nigeria in 2023. To bring real Peace, Unity & Progress.

“The youths deserve a chance to fix our Nation, So help us God. Amen!

Right to political aspiration is everybody's right but the realities are that politics is local and democracy is a popularity contest that require massive resources.

Is Yul Edochie politically strong LOCALLY? Can he win councillorship in village ward?

Does Yul Edochie have the popularity rating, resources, structure and goot soldiers to win any election? In 2017 under Democratic Peoples Congress, his campaign trail for Anambra State governorship election was embarrassingly scanty. How does he intend to do it on national level?

Dr. Oby Ezekwesili tried it in 2019 and pulled out prematurely. His campaign visit to Abagana her hometown, which was supposed to be her political base was an apology. She gave up.

Yul Edochie is a political COMEDIAN.
