The actress revealed that much when she took to her Instagram page to spill her guts over the matter, saying most Governors see it as a retirement plan after serving two terms in the state house.

She wrote: “We need to find a way to put this into the Nigerian constitution.. ‘Ex governors Can’t run for Senate’ I mean seriously it’s like the retirement plan of every governor”.

Her comments are coming a month after she voiced out against the growing increase of sexual assault rocking the movie industry and also revealed that she was once a victim.
