Popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has stopped pursuing his 2023 Presidential ambition and he has revealed his reason for stopping, IGBERETV reports.
According to him, his party, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) doesn’t have the capacity to win the Presidential election at the moment.
He wrote on his Twitter handle;
To understand Nigerian politics well buy form and run for office.
Win or lose your eye go clear.
You’ll stop ranting and start looking at facts.
Politicians don’t share money bcos they want to, they share money bcos the people demand money.
Without it only few will listen to you— Yul Edochie (@YulEdochie) June 10, 2022
Politics is not done with sentiments.
If you do you’ll likely fail and keep failing.
Politics is done with facts.
That’s why my brother Banky W left his former party and joined PDP.
He simply put sentiments aside and embraced facts.— Yul Edochie (@YulEdochie) June 10, 2022
He realized that his former party does not have the capacity to win the seat for him.
And building structure for a party is not a one man thing.
It takes a lot.
So he simply moved.
It doesn’t make him a bad person.
That’s politics.— Yul Edochie (@YulEdochie) June 10, 2022
I wanted to run for President with APGA.
After much consultations & meetings.
We sat and did our evaluations.
We put sentiments aside & embraced facts.
Our party is good but does not have the capacity at the moment to win a Presidential seat.
So I didn’t move further.— Yul Edochie (@YulEdochie) June 10, 2022
