Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, on Wednesday said he resigned
from his government appointment to support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar
in 2019.
Atiku had run for Nigerian Presidency during the 2019
elections under the Peoples Democratic Party.
In his latest post, Edochie stated that he supported Atiku
because he wanted a positive turn around for Nigeria.
Edochie wrote, “In 2019, I supported Atiku for President. I
did it with my full chest, proudly.
“I didn’t do it for money. I was not paid to do it. May God
punish me if I lie.
“I even resigned from my Government appointment then so I
could give Atiku my full support without any hindrance.
“I did it because I want a positive turn around in our
country. I ‘atikulated’ social media. I ‘atikulated’ the whole of Anambra
State. I ‘atikulated’ all Nigerian youths who believed in me to stand with
Atiku.Unfortunately, it turned out the way it did.”
Despite Edochie’s support for Atiku, Muhammadu Buhari of the
All Progressives Congress emerged as the winner of the election.
In the forthcoming 2023 election, Edochie had stated that he
wished to run for Presidency and in his post, asked Atiku for support.
Edochie said, “This time around, it’s the turn of the South
East to produce the next President. And I have declared my interest to run for
President of Nigeria, 2023.
“I hope Atiku will support me the way I supported him. God
bless our great country Nigeria.”
