Reality TV star Anita Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has declared her interest in pursuing a career in politics.
In a recent interview with Ebuka, the BBNaija star, who was born and raised in Port Harcourt, expressed disappointment with the current situation in Rivers State, highlighting its untapped potential.
Tacha shared her views on the importance of youth involvement in governance, highlighting opportunities and talents that are not being fully utilized.
She said, “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 noted that it’s more effective to actively participate in the government to bring about change, rather than criticizing from the outside.
When asked about her political ambitions, Tacha revealed that she is working on something and will share more details once she is 70% ready.
Tacha said, “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.”
The reality TV star also mentioned her intention to attempt to break the world record for the most makeup done in 24 hours, aiming at 150 people.
