Edochie made this bold statement while celebrating Trump’s inauguration for his second term in office.

In a detailed Instagram post, the actress reflected on the backlash she faced for supporting Trump during the US presidential election.

She revealed that many critics dubbed her “Mama Trump” for her public admiration of the controversial figure. Despite this, Edochie made it clear that she remains steadfast in her support for the former president.

She wrote: “Mama Trump, as I’m fondly called by haters because once they hate someone, they stand it to anyone channeling support for the person.

But does it matter? After all, the entire universe wishes they had an Angel like Donald Trump to be their president.”

January 20, 2025, marked a historic milestone as Trump took the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, beginning his new term with a fresh mandate.

She continued: “I do wish a man in the likeness of Trump be sworn into the Nigerian Executive Offices one day.”

Edochie’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions among her followers, with many applauding her bold stance, while others continue to question her support for the polarising figure.

Nevertheless, her tribute to Trump highlights her belief in his leadership qualities and desire for similar values in Nigerian politics.
