The news of Yul Edochie taking a second wife has sparked debate on his ability to be Nigeria’s president.

The Nollywood actor on Wednesday shocked fans after announced the existence of his son by his second wife, Judy Austin Muoghalu.

“Born by my second wife @judyaustin1 And I love him so much, just as much as I love my other children.”

The senior wife of Edochie, who has five children for him, took to the comment section writing: “May God judge you both.”

This has since stirred reactions online as Edochie had once hailed his first wife for standing by him for 16 years while he was struggling.

However, this news didn’t sit well with many Nigerians who dimmed him unfit to be president and take control of affairs of the country.

Here are the comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter;

@Uramah “Yul Edochie has failed us all (Nigerians). How can we vote for someone that is not faithful in marriage? A man that can’t stick to one woman is not fit to become Nigeria’s president. He should go and rest and also fit in his home.”
