Multiple music award winner, Mr
Innocent Idibia, is set to swell the ranks of entertainers seeking political
offices.
Speaking with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos, the R&B crooner and songwriter said it
is about time good people intervened in Nigeria’s politics.
He however, did not reveal under
which political platform and at what level he would be seeking to actualise his
political aspiration.
Nonetheless, Mr Idibia said he
was interested in affecting lives positively and would soon pick up the
challenge of a political position. He also urged youths to get more involved
politically.
“Politics affects everything I
do. So, I am definitely going to be interested in politics. I will soon
participate as a contestant and speak the truth at all times.
“I hope and pray that good men
will rise up and make a difference in this country, because we need more
patriotic people in all aspects of life,” he said.
Also, Idibia called on Nigerians
to come to the aid of victims of the herdsmen and farmers clashes.
“There is so much we’ve been
saying about this crisis, but nothing much has come the way of the victims.
“We just need more people to
support and join hands to continue extending relief materials to affected
people.
“This is the most important thing
we can now do; bring succour to the victims,” he said.
The musician said people need to
be sensitised on safety precautions during times of crisis.
Idibia appealed to the Federal
Government to do the needful by ensuring permanent solution to the crisis.
“This thing is going on for too
long, repeating itself over and over. There has to be a solution, the victims
are not goats they are humans and should be taken care of.
“I feel terrible not because it
also happened in Benue State, where I hail from, but because it is also
happening almost throughout the federation.
“It does not have to happen to
someone you know before you speak up about it,” he said.
