Popular reality TV personality and media influencer, Anita Natasha Akide, widely known as Tacha, has revealed her interest in diving into Nigeria’s political scene.
In a recent candid chat with Ebuka, the former BBNaija housemate opened up about her growing desire to get involved in governance, a move she believes is essential to drive real change, especially in her home state, Rivers.
Tacha expressed deep concern over what she described as the underutilization of resources and talent in Rivers State. Comparing it to more developed regions like Lagos and Abuja, she said the state’s potential remains largely ignored.
“When I look at states like Abuja and Lagos and how much progress they’ve made, I can’t help but feel disappointed that Rivers State isn’t doing more,” she said.
“There are so many talented young people, so many opportunities, and yet, it feels like no one in power is paying attention.”
Tacha emphasized that simply criticizing from the sidelines is no longer enough. According to her, the time has come for youths to stop complaining and start participating.
When asked directly about her political aspirations, Tacha confirmed she’s already laying the groundwork.
“It’s something I’m working on. I want it to be at least 70% ready before I go public with it. It doesn’t make sense to keep talking about the government without getting involved,” she stated.
Beyond politics, Tacha also hinted at a bold personal challenge. She announced plans to break a world record by doing makeup for 150 people within 24 hours, combining her love for beauty with her drive for excellence.
