Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has said that he was insulted by the youth when he ran for governor of Anambra state.
In a tweet on Thursday, the 37-year-old said that he received encouragement from elders instead of his age demography.

“When I ran for Governor, surprisingly I got more encouragement from elders, youths were busy insulting me, giving reasons why it’ll never work. Leadership is never given, it’s taken,” he wrote.
Recently, Yul Edochie said that he used to think Nigeria’s problem was the leadership until he joined politics.

Yul contested for the governorship of Anambra in 2017 as the flag bearer of the Democratic People’s Congress (DPC).
He was once an aide to Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano.
In 2018, the star actor announced his defection from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) party to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He was pictured with the PDP’s vice-presidential candidate, Peter Obi, at a rally for the South-East region held in Awka, Anambra State, earlier in the year.
