Nollywood veteran actor, Pete Edochie, has given his son, Yul Edochie his blessings as he plans to run for President in 2023. Everyone knows Yul Edochie has been fighting so hard to win one political seat or the other in Nigeria.
Now, he has made his intentions of running for presidency in 2023 clear. His father has also endorsed him. According to Pete Edochie, he says his son is discipline enough to run for President. That’s an assurance Pete is giving Nigerians.
According to Pete Edochie again, he says his phone was bugged by youngsters; who pleaded with him to endorse Yul Edochie because they like him. He also said that the day, Yul Edochie becomes irresponsible as a politician, he will withdraw his blessings from him.
Pete Edochie said:
“My values are very strong. I have my own children and they are very strong in that regard too. I am not one to be involved in politics. But you see, not all your children are bound to follow you.
One of my sons, who incidentally is an actor, has decided that he wants to be a politician. Most of the youngsters have been bugging my phone asking me to endorse my son that they want him as president and l get amused. But they keep insisting daddy, we want Yul to be the president of this country.
We like him. He is disciplined, sympathetic, he believes a lot in people. They have bothered me so much that today, I’m hereby present him to you. He has my blessing. He has my endorsement.
Any day he decides to veer off from the discipline under which he was raised, l will withdraw him from the race. It shall be well with you son. Since it has been your ambition to go into politics and the desire to run for the presidency of this country, may the good Lord assist you, protect and direct you.”

After he shared the video of his father endorsing him, Nigerians went to his comment section to rubbish his political career. Nigerians slammed him for running for presidency instead of starting from other positions, such as: seat of Governor, seat of House of Representatives, local government chairman.

Stop this grandstanding. Start from LG chairman or HOA,it will help you and humble you. Governor is way out of your league and President? You will not win chair of actors Guild?
