Sh*ck Move! Mr Eazi Declares Presidential Ambition: “I’m Putting Myself Forward

Nigerian Afrobeats star and entrepreneur, Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, has openly declared his ambition to run for the presidency in the future.

The Skin Tight crooner, who recently tied the knot with Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, disclosed his political aspirations in a video shared via Snapchat.

According to him, he has long considered contesting for the presidency of an African country, stressing that his focus is not on wealth or power, but on bringing fresh, forward-thinking leadership.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and I think it’s time to share it with you. Some of you might be from an African country looking for a president—one who isn’t chasing money or power, but who is young, vibrant, and ready to move the nation forward. So, I’m officially putting myself forward for the presidency,” he announced.

Meanwhile, Mr Eazi recently reflected on a setback from his early business journey. He revealed that he lost about ₦19 million at the age of 19 in a failed diesel supply deal.

In an interview, the singer explained that he borrowed money from his uncle, a doctor, and his wife in Nigeria to invest in the venture. The plan was to purchase diesel and resell it, leveraging what seemed like a lucrative opportunity supported by a reputable company.

However, after buying through agents at Apapa port in Lagos, a sudden government deregulation policy caused diesel prices to crash, derailing the deal. The funds were tied up for months, and the supply contract with MTN collapsed, leaving him with heavy losses.
