‘I Will Never Quit Acting For Politics’ – Yul Edochie

 
Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, who became the flag bearer of Democratic People’s Congress Party in Anambra 2017 gubernatorial election, in an interview with Inside Nollywood, disclosed his political ambition won’t stop him from acting.
The actor said;

“Politicians have failed us‎ so, I’m in the race to touch the lives of Anambra people positively. Always remember that if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. The problems of Anambra people have reached the last bus stop. I joined the race to harness the creative potentials of the youths and the resource-endowment of Anambra and move the state to the next level of development.”

 “It will not stop my acting career at all. I intend to combine both roles effectively. However, I’m willing to jettison actingin order to face governance for four years should it be required of me.

“An actor also has a right to contest for public office like every other citizen of Nigeria. So, I think the fact that I’m an actor is a major plus, not a setback.”
