Nollywood actor Yul Edochie is celebrating himself and his legendary father, Pete Edochie on Father’s Day.
In a post on his Instagram page, he hailed his father as the most handsome 78-year-old man alive as he prayed for God to continue keeping him for them.
Yul also wished himself and other fathers a happy Father’s Day as he played for God to keep providing for them.
“My man anytime any day.
Happy father’s day to you Dad.
Chief Pete Edochie @peteedochie
The LION of Africa.
The most handsome 78-year-old man alive.

May God continue to keep you for us.
Many more wonderful years, I wish you.
Happy Father’s Day to me and to all great fathers out there.
May God always provide for us all we need to keep our families stable and keep us in great shape”.
Despite his scandal with his colleague, Judy Austin, which almost wrecked his relationship with his family, there is no doubt that Yul holds his father in high esteem as he never fails to sing his praises.
Back in March, to celebrate his father’s 78th birthday, Yul had sung his praises, referring to him as one of Nigeria’s greatest icons and the biggest name in Nollywood. He expressed how much he loved his father and declared him his man for life.
When the actor began his ministerial work last year, he expressed gratitude to his father for endorsing, supporting, and praying for him.
Also, when Pete Edochie bagged two doctorate degrees from Togo University, Yul had hailed him, calling him the Lion of Africa. He noted how his father deserves the recognition and award.
In other news, Yul revealed one of the greatest lessons he learned from his father, Pete Edochie in his career. The father of five recounted how his father gave him the biggest advice after the first time he directed him in a movie, which he believed wasn’t his son’s best. He had the opportunity to direct his father once again and he blew him away with his artistic prowess and finally Pete him his accolades.
