Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has named the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo as his favourite Nigerian politician, praising the former Western Region premier for his vision and developmental initiatives.
Edochie made the remarks during an interview with Isbae U on the Curiosity Made Me Ask podcast, where he also spoke about his admiration for the Yoruba people and reflected on his long acting career.
“I love the Yorubas a lot, one of my sons is married to a Yoruba girl,” the veteran actor said.
Although he said he was not interested in politics, Edochie singled out Awolowo as the politician he admired most.
“I am not into politics, but if you asked me who is my favourite politician, I will tell you it is Awolowo. There is a reason for it,” he said.
