Nollywood actor and self-acclaimed prophet, Yul Edochie, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stop paying attention to political distractions surrounding the 2027 general elections.
In a passionate Instagram post shared on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, Edochie urged the president to focus solely on the worsening economic and security situation in the country, which, according to him, remains a daily struggle for many Nigerians.
Yul, who has consistently shown support for Tinubu’s administration, appealed directly to the President in his post, saying:
"To my dear President, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, @officialasiwajubat. Please don’t let politicians distract you with 2027. We’re still in 2025. High cost of living and high rate of insecurity are still ravaging Nigerians. These 2 remain the most pressing issues to deal with. May God lead you, sir.

His comment comes amid rising political chatter over alliances being formed by opposition leaders like Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar to unseat the current administration.
This isn’t the first time the actor-turned-clergyman has addressed the presidency.
In June, Edochie made headlines for asking Tinubu to revive former President Buhari’s controversial cashless policy, claiming it helped reduce kidnapping and inflation.
