Veteran actor, Pete Edochie, has been warned by some Nigerians to stay out of politics and face his acting career.
Pete Edochie has called for APC governors seeking the removal of the deputy Senate president should tender their resignation letters and handover notes.
The warning to Edochie comes after the actor slammed the President Muhaummadu Buhari-led government and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) for plotting to remove Senator Ike Ekweremadu as the deputy Senate president.
The actor who queried if Ekweremadu’s removal will help stabilize the economy, create jobs, or curtail Fulani Herdsmen from killing of helpless Nigerians among others, said the deputy Senate president should be recalled if his removal will bring solution to the problems in the country. Edochie however stated that if Ekweremadu’s removal will not proffer solutions to the challenges facing the country, then all the APC governors seeking the removal of the deputy Senate president should tender their resignation letters and handover notes. The actor’s statement has generated mixed reactions from a section of Nigerians with some suggesting that his comments could get him into trouble.
But others have hailed him for speaking out on burning issues affecting the country. See reaction below:
