As Nigerians get ready to go to the polls in 2023 to choose their next president, Nigerian actor cum politician, Yul Edochie has dropped a piece of advice for Nigerians

According to the actor, elections are not wars so Nigerians should be careful not to turn their respective political campaigns into tribal wars.

His advice comes at a point when the flagbearers of the major political parties in Nigeria – APC, PDP, and Labour Party are Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo respectively. Many agreed and applauded his post, while he also received backlash due to the ‘drama’ that trailed ‘his marrying a second wife’ announcement.

The post he made reads:See some reactions from the post below:

28. Politicians that became rich overnight stole our common wealth. They killed, destroyed and maimed to attain that position. They are not fit to be there. They are evil with blood stains on their hands. God’s judgement is waiting for them.

It is not about party but the individual that God has brought to effect the true change we all desire. Don’t be deceived by party politics, we must take back our country. Be wise. He who has ears, let him hear.
