My mum told me to drop my political ambition- Julius Agwu

Popular humour merchant, Julius Agwu has revealed why he abandoned his political ambition to become the next governor of his state. Although he opted out without voicing his reasons, many speculated that he opted out because he was being loyal to the incumbent governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
During a Valentine dinner hosted in honour of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate and running mate, Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osibanjo, the funny man was the anchor of the event and he used the opportunity to reveal why he dropped out of the gubernatorial race.
Agwu said that immediately his mother got wind of his political ambition, she called him and begged him to opt out of the race.
He said, “My mum 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,” he said.
