Popular Nollywood actor and filmmaker Yul Edochie has officially reacted to his recent appointment as the Deputy South-East Coordinator of the political support movement known as “Relax, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria” (RTIFN).

Yul Edochie Confirms Appointment

Yul Edochie took to his official social media platforms to confirm the appointment, sharing the news with his followers and supporters.

What Is the RTIFN Initiative?

The “Relax, Tinubu Is Fixing Nigeria” (RTIFN) initiative is a political support movement formed to promote and defend the policies and leadership style of President Bola Tinubu. The group has been active in public messaging, advocacy, and grassroots mobilization aimed at shaping public perception ahead of future elections.

While the initiative is linked to the ruling party’s interests, it is important to note that RTIFN is not a formal government agency. Instead, it operates as a political advocacy and campaign-support structure.

Judy Austin Reacts in Support

Following the announcement, Yul Edochie’s wife, actress Judy Austin, publicly congratulated him on the appointment. In her reaction, she praised him as the “strongest man” she knows and pledged her full support as he steps into the new political role.

Her message further fueled online discussions, especially given the public scrutiny that often surrounds the couple.

Public Reactions and Mixed Opinions

As expected, the appointment has sparked intense reactions across social media. While some supporters applauded Yul Edochie for actively participating in national politics, others criticized the move, questioning celebrities’ involvement in political advocacy.

Some Nigerians praised his courage and willingness to stand by his political beliefs, while critics accused him of seeking relevance or courting controversy.

Despite the backlash, Yul Edochie has remained firm in his stance, consistently defending President Tinubu’s administration and encouraging Nigerians to remain patient with ongoing reforms.

Yul Edochie’s Growing Political Involvement

This appointment further cements Yul Edochie’s growing presence in Nigerian political discourse. Over the past few years, the actor has increasingly used his platform to speak on governance, leadership, and national development.

His supporters argue that as a public figure, he has the right to participate actively in political movements, while critics maintain that celebrities should focus on entertainment rather than politics.

Conclusion

There is no dispute that Yul Edochie was indeed appointed as the Deputy South-East Coordinator of the RTIFN initiative and that he publicly stated he is “battle- and service-ready” for the role.

Whether his political involvement will strengthen the movement or further polarize public opinion remains to be seen. One thing is certain: Yul Edochie’s entry into organized political advocacy has once again placed him at the center of national conversation.
