Veteran entertainer and activist Charly Boy, popularly known as the Area Fada, has reacted to actor Yul Edochie’s recent call for a South East presidency in Nigeria.

Sharing Yul’s video where the actor declared that the next Nigerian president should come from the South East, the maverick activist wrote:

“Yul Edochie finally see’s the light. Thank God you don dey change lane.”

Just last year, the actor was one of the few public figures who openly supported the current president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, when it was considered unpopular among a significant section of the youth and South East voters.
