You are not wrong to think the presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari is not the
only person seeking Goodluck Jonathan ‘s job. Just that the
latest addition to that list is a bit interesting.
The fellow is none other than award winning pop star
and HKN boss, Davido who has said he is good enough to
be the president of Nigeria.
If given the opportunity, Davido doesn’t sound unprepared
at all as he has highlighted some of the things he’ll do uf
he gets to occupy the highest office in the land. While
responding to MTV Base’s Choose or Lose Vox Pop, the
‘Aye’ singer declared his intention to be the first entertainer
to become Nigeria’s president in the 45-second video.
Davido began by stating his readiness to vote in the
forthcoming elections: ‘Yes I’m voting, I want my voice to
be heard, there’s no point in complaining if you are not
going to vote.’
And when asked if he’ll love to see a celebrity as Nigeria’s
president, who the person will be and why, Davido
responded: ‘I think I’m good enough to be president,
because it’s me, I want to be the president.’
He went on to outline some of the things he’ll do if he is
named President for just one day: ‘I’ll fix all the bad roads,
I’ll fix up the currency of course, and different other things,
as much as I can do in a day I’ll do.’
Davido wants the youth to take over governance in the
country in order to provide better roads, cleaner
environment and better structured cities and it remains to
be seen just how serious he is in future, given he is from a
family with a history of political involvement.
Davido is surely not the first to declare that ambition. Late
rapper, DaGrin once declared the dream of becoming
Nigeria’s president in one of his songs.
