Son of Nollywood veteran, Yul Edochie, has said how he was insulted by the youths when he contest for governor of Anambra state. In a recent tweet, he added that he received more encouragement from elders instead of his fellow youths.
“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.
The younger Edochie was reacting to a tweet by Don Jazzy which reads: “Africa has d youngest population in world.
The average age of Africans is 19.4 years but d average age of African Presidents is over 60 yrs. That is d world’s largest age disparity between d governors and d governed. How can we address this generational inequality? #voiceofthedon.”
He was once an aide to Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano. Last year, in the run-up to the 2019 general elections, the star actor announced his defection from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) party to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
