Popular musician, Iyanya
Onoyom Mbuk, widely known as
‘Iyanya’, says Nigerians will
remember Omoyele Sowore
forever if he emerges President
in the general election
rescheduled for Saturday,
February 23, 2019.
This has come as a boost for the
presidential ambition of Omoyele
Sowore, contesting on the
platform of the African Action
Congress (AAC).
Iyanya made the statement when
he appeared on Sowore’s #
OurTime, a programme Sowore
anchors to keep supporters
updated on his campaign.
Commending entertainers for
their contribution to advancing
the country, Sowore noted that
the industry and talent of
musicians, as well as actors and
actresses, have put the country
favourably on the international
scene.
Speaking with Sowore on #
OurTime, Iyanya said: “I strongly
believe that if someone like you
goes in there, I’m sure you would
do things that will make
Nigerians remember Sowore for
the rest of our lives and I’m
wishing you the best.”
Iyanya commended Sowore’s
SPICERHEAT agenda, stating that
his plans would make the
country better and help support
the production of entrepreneurs.
“Imagine a Nigeria where
everybody has light. What it
means is that my nephew, who
wants to start work, doesn’t
need to buy a generator set.
with the number of generators we
have in Nigeria and the people
who are exporting them, we
can’t get power supply in
Nigeria,” he said.
He expressed support for all
young candidates seeking
political positions in the coming
elections, saying it is time
Nigerians supported young
candidates — because the
country needs a “saviour” to
salvage the deplorable situation
of the country.
“I am sitting with you because
every time I watch you, you
speak facts. I’m also sitting down
here to say let’s give young
people a chance. If you go there
and do well, I will support you
forever, and Nigerians will
support you. What Nigeria needs
now is a saviour but nobody is
holy.
“I agree with you that it is time
for the government to let young
people come up to office; it is
time to make new heroes,
especially the young generations,
because Nigerians need people
who love the people.
“The people are suffering today
because there is no love coming
from above to the lowest level.
There are people who are
suffering, who appreciate money
as low as N100. So, it is time for
the government to allow young
people who have the relationship
with the young generations to
come in and bring new ideas
and change the game, because
the situation right now is not
good for the people out there
and it is really bad.”
Stating why celebrities are not
coming out to publicly endorse
politicians, Iyanya said the people
come after them and sometimes
attack them when the candidates
they support fail to perform.
In his remarks, Sowore said:
“Nigeria is at a point where there
must be a generational
transition. The old generation of
leaders who are analogue
thinkers must give way for the
digital generations.”
