Julius Agwu: “My Mother Cried When She Heard I Was Running For Governor”

When news of comedian, Julius Agwu’s gubernatorial ambition broke, reactions were mixed ranging from surprise to doubt.

However for the mother of the ‘Crack Ya Ribs’ comedian, it was completely sad news, enough to even warrant tears. During a visit to Pulse, the actor revealed that his mother had called him saying she’d heard rumours that he intended to run for governor.

“She said I’ve been hearing rumours that you want to become governor, is it true?” he narrated.

After confirming it was true, the comedian said she burst into tears pleading with him to “leave it for them”

“The next thing I heard was leave it for them o, you’re not in anything with them, they’re in everything”

Julius had earlier declared his intention to be governor of Rivers state, but has since withdrawn from the race after consultations with his kinsmen where they agreed to give the riverine side of the state a chance to rule this time around.
