| "I have made a lot of people happy through my films; If elected, I will leave the movie industry for governance to make the people more happier," he said. |
Nollywood actor and
governorship candidate of the Democratic People’s Congress (DCP), Yul
Edochie, has promised to put smiles on the faces of the people of
Anambra state if voted into power in the November 18 election.
He said the joy and excitement people derive
from watching his numerous movies would be replicated if elected
governor of Anambra state.
The movie star
made the assertion while presenting Emeka Okonkwo as his running mate
ahead of the guber poll at Umunachi, Dunukofia Local Government Area
near Awka.
"I have made a lot of people happy through my
films; If elected, I will leave the movie industry for governance to
make the people more happier," he said.
Edochie expressed concern over the marginalisation of youths and the need for them to be actively involved in politics.
“For many years, we have been told that youths
are the future leaders. I am here to serve as that youthful leader, who
is ready to bring about positive change for the people.
“We recognise the fact that older people, who
served us have done well, but the youths are here now to ensure needed
change for growth and development of the state.
“There is hardship and hunger in the state and
so, our first job will be to ensure food for all and we shall have a
committee set up to tackle major challenges in various communities.
“Our government if elected, promises to engage
more youths in meaningful employment in various sectors, especially in
the entertainment industry through the siting of a Nollywood village in
the state,” he added.
Earlier, Okonkwo, who solicited the votes of
the electorate, said :“We know what our problems are and we will tackle
them if elected.”
