Multi-award winning Nigerian Afrobeat musician, singer and
songwriter Lagbaja has advised Nigerians on the coming 2015 presidential
elections.
The 1960-Lagos-state-born musician, who is a Baptist by upbringing, has
made some remarks about the President Goodluck Jonathan administration
and the coming elections. The Globacom ambassador, popular for his
masked-face, has declared that he is ready to exercise his... voting
rights, unlike some celebrities who have made it known that they won’t
vote.
Lagbaja, who has received his Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) after
waiting a long time, claimed that the president, who is seeking
re-election, does not have the ability to rule the country. He also said
that some forces may have pushed President Goodluck Jonathan to seek
re-election, since the president was quoted as saying he did not plan to
run for a second term.
The singer said that he “knows that President Jonathan cannot do this job”. In his own words:
“He (Jonathan) really wants to leave now, he does not
want a second term, but he cannot say that publicly. He is a hostage of
the people pushing him because of them, he cannot simply walk away. So,
he has to play along by campaigning for re-election. He really needs
your help so that he can leave with dignity, help him by voting him out.
Vote Buhari/Osinbajo on February 14.”
