Veteran entertainer and activist, Charly Boy, has applauded Yul Edochie for throwing his weight behind the call for Nigeria’s next president to emerge from the South-East, describing the actor’s recent stance as a long-overdue awakening.
It all began when the actor posted a video backing the idea of a South-Eastern president, stating that it’s only fair.
“The next president of Nigeria should come from the South-East, in fairness and everything,” he said. “That’s just the truth and that’s how it should be.”
Charly Boy, reacting to Edochie’s new position, wrote, “Yul Edochie finally sees the light. Thank God you don dey change lane.”
Just months ago, the actor had confidently expressed belief in Tinubu’s capacity to “fix Nigeria,” telling fans to “have faith” during the height of economic turmoil. His attempts to pacify Nigerians with motivational messages during fuel hikes and inflation also triggered backlash, with many accusing him of being out of touch.
