Reality TV star, Anita Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has declared her interest in venturing into politics.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday, where she shared her thoughts on governance, youth involvement, and her home state, Rivers.

Tacha said she does not intend to remain a critic from the sidelines.

According to her, she would love to be part of those making decisions, though she has not settled on the specific position to pursue.

While she ruled out immediate plans to run in the next election, she said that she would only talk about her ambitions when she has laid a strong foundation.

“Definitely, when it’s time, I would. I’m not sure about the next elections. But if it’s something I’m working on, I’d need to make it at least 70% already done before I can talk about it.

“We keep saying politics is dirty, but we forget that we play politics every day. We try to be politically correct, but don’t see that we can play it on a larger scale and benefit our people. I think it’s about time, really,” she said.
