Nollywood actor and producer, Yul Edochie, has launched scathing attack on former Anambra State governor, Mr. Peter Obi, casting doubt on both his leadership ability and his identity as an Igbo man.
The flippant actor, said Peter Obi is “not a true Igbo man” and does not possess the qualities required for leadership.
According to Yul, Obi has been unable to improve the economic situation of those close to him, suggesting this reflects his inability to tackle poverty at the national level.
In a post shared on his official X handle on Friday, Edochie said: “He does not have the spirit of Ndi Igbo in him.
“He’s not a leader. The true spirit of Ndi Igbo is ‘onye aghana nwanne ya’. As you rise, you lift others.”
Speaking further, Yul said: “How can you spend many years in power, many years as a successful businessman, yet nobody can say he’s successful today because of you. You can’t even lift your family members.”
While positioning his own influence as more impactful, the actor added: “In Nollywood, there are people who will tell you they’re successful today because of Yul Edochie.
“Not one person can say that about Peter Obi. Are you a sadist? What are you doing with the power God has given you?
“If you can’t lift people around you out of poverty, you simply can’t lift Nigeria out of poverty.”
