Jokes Apart! Julius Agwu is running for the seat of the Governor of Rivers State (Photo)
I took the news with a pinch of salt initially but when I saw this photo, I believed. But really it is hard not to believe this is not another creative comedy skit. Ace comedian Julius D’genius Agwu has shown interest in running for the seat of the Governor of Rivers State. He, just like other politicians wants to effect change in his state.
I hope he doesn’t come out to say the photo isn’t real or another skit.
