Majek fasherk declares political ambition in 2015

Speaking with Pulse.ng, Majek Fashek revealed
that he is making the step into the political world to
support the President of Nigeria, Goodluck
Jonathan, and push him for re-election in next
year’s general election.
Veteran Nigerian musician, Majek Fashek has
revealed his desire to go into politics in 2015. The
‘Send Down The Rain’ singer who ruled Nigerian
music in the early 90s believes he has the power
to support political aspirants next year.
Speaking with Pulse.ng, Majek Fashek revealed
that he is making the step into the political world to
support the President of Nigeria, Goodluck
Jonathan, and push him for re-election in next
year’s general election.
“Next year, I’m going to be entering into politics. I
am going to be in the PDP”, Majek declared. “I will
support the president. I will support the president
and the governor, that’s why I enter into politics.
With my knowledge in the American world,
presidency is not my calling, I’m a revolutionary
musician, so what I can do with the power God
gave to me is to support the government so that
they can help the poor.”
Majek Fashek also revealed that he has no interest
in occupying Aso Rock. For him, it is too much of
work to be the president.
“The presidency is too much work, I don’t like it.
Instead of me to become a president, I will support
the president.”
Majek Fashek also believes we are in an era of
political transformation, and the only good choice
of government lies in continuation.
“In 2015, I am supporting Goodluck Jonathan,
because he needs a second term like Obama. We
are in the political era, and we are going into
political transition. We either re-elect Goodluck
Jonathan or somebody else. But so far, I think
Goodluck needs second term to try his best.”
Majek Fashek will be performing at the ‘Africa
Meets Reggae And World Music International
Festival’ on November 29, at the National Stadium,
Lagos. He will be joined by other veteran acts such
as Victor Essiet, Ortis Williki and Righteous Man.
