Tacha Breaks the Internet with Bold Declaration: ‘I’m Going Into Politics!’

Popular Nigerian reality TV personality and entrepreneur, Anita Natacha Akide, widely recognized as Tacha, has announced her intention to venture into politics, a move that has generated significant public interest and conversations across various platforms.

ACCORDING TO IREPORTER ONLINE, the former Big Brother Naija housemate made this declaration during a televised interview aired over the weekend, where she expressed her thoughts on national leadership, youth participation in governance, and her strong connection to her home state, Rivers.

During the interview, the 29-year-old emphasized that she is no longer satisfied with merely observing or criticizing government actions from the sidelines. She asserted that her political interest is serious and that she aspires to become one of the decision-makers shaping Nigeria’s future. Although she has not specified which position she intends to contest, she affirmed that any political ambition she eventually pursues will be grounded in thorough preparation and long-term strategy.

In her words, she explained that while she may not be running in the immediate next election cycle, she will only speak more openly about her plans when she has completed at least 70% of the groundwork required. Her comments reflect a deliberate and calculated approach to public service.

ACCORDING TO IREPORTER ONLINE, Tacha used the opportunity to address the widespread perception of politics as a dirty game. She argued that political behavior is embedded in daily human interactions, stressing that rather than shy away, young Nigerians should channel their political awareness into formal governance to bring about real change.

She remarked that Nigerians frequently view politics with disdain, yet they fail to acknowledge that they engage in political actions and decisions every day. She challenged the youth to apply their political instincts more constructively, noting that public service offers an avenue to benefit the larger society. In her words, she said, “It’s about time.”

Though she has yet to announce a concrete political path or timeline, Tacha’s remarks have ignited a flurry of reactions from admirers and observers alike. Many view her as part of a new wave of Nigerian celebrities leveraging their platforms to push for reform, civic engagement, and national development.

ACCORDING TO IREPORTER ONLINE, her potential move into politics could further blur the lines between fame and public office, as more entertainers and influencers seek to convert their popularity into meaningful societal impact.
