Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie says the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo is his favourite Nigerian politician. The reports describe him praising Awolowo’s vision and developmental work, presenting the former Western Region premier as a figure Edochie continues to admire.
Multiple outlets say Edochie made the remarks on a recent public appearance or interview, including an episode of “Curiosity Made Me Ask.” Vanguard and Daily Post highlight Awolowo’s initiatives and development under the Western Region administration. Legit.ng also adds that Edochie expresses regret that Awolowo never became president, framing his admiration around both achievements and what he considers missed political outcomes. Despite these differences in emphasis, all sources attribute the comments to Edochie and tie them directly to Awolowo’s legacy.
