This comment marks a notable political reversal, as Edochie previously supported President Bola Tinubu, a stance that drew criticism from many, including fans of Peter Obi and the Labour Party.

Charly Boy’s message “You’ve seen the light” suggests approval of the actor’s shift and implies that the new position aligns with a more equitable political narrative. Edochie’s backing of South-East leadership in 2027 has now become a trending topic, sparking both praise and criticism across social media.
