Nigeria at 60: 'Why I can't wish anyone a happy independence' - Yul Edochie

Veteran actor, Yul Edochie has taken to social media platform, Twitter to express his thoughts concerning Nigeria's Independence Day celebration today, October 1, 2020.

According to him, there is nothing to celebrate as the country is filled with untold hardships across all sectors of it's economy.

"I cannot wish anyone a happy independence when my people are not happy. What are we celebrating? Fuel price increase? Electricity tariff hike? Hardship? Bad roads?

"Killings everywhere? Jobless youths turned beggars? The list is endless. Speak the truth. Nigerians are suffering," he tweeted.

In 2017, Yul Edochie ran for the gubernatorial seat of Anambra state. Losing out on his gubernatorial pursuit in the last election clearly hasn’t dissuaded the actor from politics. Edochie remains positive and hopeful about his political ambitions.
