9ice revealed
that contesting in the last elections was an experience for him even
though he did not win.The singer who contested for a seat at the Oyo
State House of Assembly, in an interview with Punch stated this.
“When I got into politics I realised that whatever level
you attain in life, there are people who are more successful. If you
think you are the richest man alive, politics would teach you that there
are richer men on earth. There are a lot of things that need to be done
and a lot of wrongs that need to be right. We need someone like a
prophet to lead this country.
We need someone with the fear of God. It
goes beyond having a degree; we need leaders with the fear of God. We
need someone like Pastor Adeboye to rule this country, besides he is
educated and that is a plus. We need someone with good conscience and
the fear of God. We don’t have that in Nigeria.”
If he was returning to music because his political career failed.
“It is not true that I am returning to music after
failing in my political endeavours. People would always talk. When I
went into politics, people said that it was because I was no longer
making money through music. Music is my passion and even if it does not
put food on my table, I would continue to pursue my passion.
Music is
something I can do for free. If it pays my bills fine, but if it
doesn’t, I would still continue to do music. They have not heard the
last of my political sojourn; come 2019, I would contest again.
“My new album would be out before the first quarter of 2016 ends. I
am not sure if I would feature any A-list artiste but I would surprise
my fans. I would be experimenting on new sounds. I would do things that
people do not think I can do. I will also be singing about my experience
in politics.”
