Popular Nollywood actor, Yuk Edochie, has pulled his weight behind the president of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as he pledges his support for the number one citizen of the country.
The movie star took to his official Twitter account and shared a picture where he wore a Tinubu-branded attire. Yul took to the caption section with the words, “Asiwaju boy. 100%. Unapologetically. I love Tinubu. I believe in him and I’m praying for him to succeed.”
ASIWAJU BOY.
100%.
UNAPOLOGETICALLY.

I LOVE TINUBU. @officialABAT
I BELIEVE IN HIM.
AND I’M PRAYING FOR HIM TO SUCCEED. pic.twitter.com/ipqtbdW1sO— Yul Edochie (@YulEdochie) August 19, 2023
This post comes days after the thespian posted a picture of the President on his Instagram page while showering him with prayers.
Yul was raised both in Lagos and Enugu and is the last of the six children of legendary actor Pete Edochie. In 2017 Yul ran for Governor of Anambra State and was the gubernatorial candidate for the Democratic Peoples Congress political party. However, Willie Obiano, who ran for re-election won a second term.

More so, @SodiqTade tweeted, “ Yul Edochie was propping Peter Obi as the good guy during the campaign. Today, he is wearing Tinubu props. Doyin Okupe led Obi out of PDP and even coordinated his campaign. Today, Okupe is dropping 10,000 words to show support to Tinubu administration. God sabi all of us address.”(sic)
