Reality TV star Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has expressed her ambition to enter the political arena, sharing her disappointment with the current state of affairs in her home state of Rivers.
In an interview on Rubbin’ Minds with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Tacha highlighted the untapped potential of Rivers State, comparing it to the progress seen in other regions like Abuja and Lagos.
She underscored the crucial role of youth involvement in governance, stressing the need for active participation to drive change instead of merely critiquing from the sidelines.
“When I look at other states like Abuja and Lagos, and I see how far they’ve come, and with the potential Rivers State has, they’re not trying to exploit it. It’s just very disappointing because there are so many youths, so many talents there, so many things that if the government can see light into a lot can happen,” she said.
While Tacha has not disclosed specific details about her political aspirations, she indicated that she is currently working on something and plans to share more information once it is 70% complete.
Tacha stated, “I’m definitely going to run for office when it is time. It is something I’m working on. I’ll have to make it 70% done before I can talk about it, because it does not make sense granting interviews like this, talking about the government without being involved.”
In addition to her budding political career, Tacha mentioned that she is also exploring other ventures, including an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most makeup applications in 24 hours, targeting 150 participants.
