Mr Eazi Declares Plans to Run for Presidency

Afrobeats star and businessman Oluwatosin Ajibade, widely known as Mr Eazi, has announced his intention to enter politics.

The singer, who recently married Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, shared his political ambition in a video on Snapchat.

Mr Eazi revealed that he has been thinking about running for the presidency of an African country for some time.

He described his vision as leading with fresh ideas, energy, and a focus on progress rather than personal gain.

His announcement marks a bold step beyond his music career.

Although Nigerian by birth, Mr Eazi has strong ties to Ghana, where he studied and began his career.

He credits Ghana with shaping his unique music style, which he calls Banku music.

This influence has played a significant role in his rise to international fame

His move into politics reflects a growing trend among Nigerian entertainers.

In recent years, several celebrities have pursued political roles, both elected and appointed.

Actress Eniola Badmus announced her plans to run for the Senate earlier this year, while former Senator Ben Bruce once predicted that Davido could become a state governor.

Mr Eazi’s announcement adds to the growing list of public figures who see politics as a new platform for influence.

How this ambition will unfold remains to be seen, but it is certain his next chapter will attract attention.
