NollyWood actor Jim Iyke has now joined politics. The NollyWood Bad Boy said he is not contesting for any political post but he is now a member of newly registered Young Democratic Party as its Director General in the Diaspora.
According to reports by
Dailyindependent ,Jim Iyke explained that the vision of the party is to empower and
promote Nigerian youths within and outside the shore of the country.He
said
“We just want to say enough is enough. It is time power and our
policies shift hands to fresher minds, to stronger fortes, to people
that are ready to move with the momentum of time, tide and changes. But
it cannot be conceivable if you are saddled in that position for over
two decades? How can you grow? How can you go with the tide of time?
Biologically too, time will catch up with you because you are growing
old in that position.
“Look at advanced countries of the world, and take a close look at
people that have moved forward, these are people who have put things in
place so that changes will be constant. Refreshment of minds, ideas,
psychology, idiosyncrasies will be constant except for Nigeria.
“The same circle of people that governed us 20 years ago are the same
people who are still ruling us, what are they still doing there? So
many of them are in their 80s, grandfathers by all rights! Are they not
tired? Suffering and smiling has become our motto, our slogan”, Iyke
lamented.
Continuing, he added:
“There are black men of strong background and
strong voice abroad. We have them everywhere. There is a rippling
effect, that whatsoever resonates here touches the whole world. This is
the strongest economy, the most populous black nation in the world. You
cannot say that what we are doing concerns Nigerians alone. It concerns
Africa, in the weight of what we are doing, we are carrying everybody
along.
“We are not saying that this is a revolution or we are here to
manipulate anybody, no. It is an open and closed book. This change may
not happen in this era but it is a right step in the right direction at
least there is a voice which hitherto was none existence. There is a
platform where you can air your grievances. It is a truthful and open
platform.”
