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.
