My Mum's Tears Spoiled My Political Career- Julius Agwu

He was once determined to be the next governor of Rivers State, but when all thought that he was near his aspiration, Julius Agwu threw in the towel.

For those who didn't know the reason why the popular Nigerian comedian quit politics, he has finally let the cat out of the bag.

“When my mum heard of my political ambition, she called me to confirm and I said it was true. She cried on the phone and told me to drop my ambition and leave it for the politicians before they kidnap her and demand for ransom. I had to oblige my mother’s request".

Recall that the Rib-cracker was one of the many Nigerian celebrities who decided to run for political offices in the upcoming elections, but unfortunately he had to let go just like actor Kenneth Okonkwo, Tony Tetuila and some others who dumped the ambition half way.

Agwu who is married with two kids, out of fear heed to the advise of his mum and gave up on the political aspirations so that his family will not be harmed.
