Many believe the campaign, which broke today is a publicity stunt for his 'Crack Ya Ribs' UK tour kicking off in Glasgow on August 22nd, 2014. But his manager Uwem Sunday James told NET in a phone conversation that 'It is for real, Julius has joined politics and would run for the post of Rivers state Governor come 2015′.

Agwu, 41, is close friends with current governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi.
