Popular humour merchant, Julius Agwu, was one of the entertainers that joined the politics train. The comedian had the ambition to become the next governor of his state but he opted out of the race without a reason.

However 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 did not disappoint his fans by making them laugh hysterically.

He also revealed why he backed out from the 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.
