The ‘Tinsel’ actor made the
announcement on Monday by posting a campaign poster on his social media
accounts.
He wrote: “Today I declare my
interest to run for President of the greatest country in the world, Nigeria.
“A blessed country that has been
crippled by decades of bad leadership.
“Enough is Enough! Fellow
Nigerians, stand with me let us bring the problems of our country to the last
bus stop.”
In January, the actor had said he
“may just decide to run for president of Nigeria” and that he “will win”.
The 36-year-old who was named
after Russian actor, Yul Brynner, aims to run on the platform of the All
Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) party.
But he will first have to secure
the party’s ticket in its primary election.
Edochie unsuccessfully contested
the Anambra governorship election on the platform of Democratic Peoples
Congress (DPC) in 2017.
He secured only 145 votes, and
months after the election, he defected to APGA.
Edochie is among the public
figures who have advised President Muhammadu Buhari not to seek re-election.
