Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has said that he used to think Nigeria’s problem was the leadership until he joined politics.
The 37-year-old said this in a series of tweets on Thursday.

“I always thought our problem was our leaders till I joined politics and realized the people are also a big part of the problem. If you run for office and you don’t have money to share, even your village people will leave you and support a well known kidnapper who is sharing money,” he wrote in one tweet.

In another tweet, he said that running out of Nigeria was not the solution.
“Yes our leaders have failed us for so long but running out of the country is not the best option. Who go fix am? Then we are treated as 3rd class citizens abroad. We need all hands on deck, all voices. The fewer the opposition, the easier it is for the oppressor to carry on.”
Yul Edochie 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.
