Jesse Jagz, the rapper, has urged Peter Obi to “enter the ghetto” and seek local support.
Obi, who is a former governor of Anambra, is running for president on the platform of the Labour Party (LP).
Jagz made random comments about Peter Obi’s chances of winning the 2023 presidential election in a podcast with music journalist Joey Akan.
He urged Obi to enter local communities, be a man of the people, and not be afraid to die.
“Shout out to the politicians. To he who seats on that throne, you must understand that a throne is only a king’s chair. He who sits there must be sincere,” the rapper said.
“We did EndSARS. Did anything come out of it? Are we not worse off now? Is our relationship with security forces not worse? The same musicians taking pictures with Hushpuppi, didn’t they delete it?
“Did anybody stand up for him? Are we not a vile and wicked people inside? Don’t we see the truth and deny it?
“People are screaming Peter Obi. Shout out to Peter Obi. Baba, be a wise man. Enter the ghetto.
“Be a man of the people. Don’t be afraid to die. I think he’s brilliant. But if he gets to the presidency and forgets his work, I’ll clear his doubt for him. I’m not campaigning for him. But there’s work to be done.” (The Cable)
