Nigerian Afrobeats singer cum entrepreneur, Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, has revealed his intention of becoming a president in future.
Naija News reports that the ‘Skin Tight’ crooner, who recently married the daughter of billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, Temi, disclosed his political ambitions in a video via Snapchat.
Mr Eazi said he has been considering running for the presidency of an African country for a while.
He said, “I have been thinking about it. I think it’s time to share it with you guys. Some of you might be from some country, specifically in Africa, and you are looking for a president; a president who is not looking for money and power but forward-thinking, young, active and can move your country better.
“So, I’m officially putting myself forward for the presidency.”
Meanwhile, Mr Eazi recently opened up about a major setback early in his business journey.
The singer revealed that he lost ₦19 million in a failed diesel supply deal when he was just 19 years old.
In an interview shared on social media, he revealed that he borrowed money from his uncle, who is a doctor, and his wife in Nigeria to start the venture.
He planned to buy diesel and supply it, believing he could sell it successfully.
The project seemed reliable, supported by a well-known company, and many others were investing in similar deals at the time.
The team tried to buy diesel through agents at Apapa port in Lagos, as direct purchase from tank farms required bulk allocation.
These agents charged a small premium to facilitate the transaction.
However, a sudden government deregulation of fuel prices caused diesel costs to drop just as they made the purchase.
The money remained tied up for about three months, and the planned supply deal with MTN collapsed.
