Tacha Eyes Political Seat, Slams Rivers Leadership
Former Big Brother Naija star, Anita Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has declared her interest in running for political office, expressing disappointment in the state of governance in Rivers State.
Speaking during an interview with media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Tacha said, “Rivers State is too rich for us to have the kind of leaders that we have.” She noted that despite her roots in the state, she rarely spends time there because “there’s nothing happening in Rivers State.”
She revealed that she is already preparing to venture into politics, stressing the need for Nigerian youth to get involved in governance. “You cannot fix it from the outside, you need to go inside. You need to get involved,” she said.
While she didn’t disclose the specific position she’s aiming for, Tacha hinted at working behind the scenes to perfect her plans before making them public. “I’m already working underground. When it’s 70% ready, you’ll see it. When it’s ready, it’s ready,” she added.
Tacha, who has built a strong fanbase since her time on BBNaija, also shared her ambition to break the Guinness World Record for most makeup applications within 24 hours, aiming to glam up 150 people in one day.
