Popular actor turned politician, Yul Edochie, has revealed reason he will no longer be running for president come 2019.
Edochie made this known on his Twitter page, writing, “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 a chat with Saturday Beat, Edochie 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 would run for another political position, he said;
“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.
