Veteran Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba or 2Face, has said his ambition to venture into politics remains alive.
The music star made the revelation during his appearance on the Mic On podcast with Seun Okinbaloye in a video released on Saturday evening.
When asked if his earlier political ambition was still alive, 2Baba responded in the affirmative, linking his interest to years of civic engagement.
“It’s definitely alive, but for me, I’ve always been, how do I put it, I dey participate for the thing, For over so many years, I spearheaded a campaign called ‘Vote No Fight’, and we saw some results at least we didn’t solve the whole problem, but at least helped to sensitize a whole lot of people and we made them to cooperate and behave themselves during elections and I think we need to amplify it more.
We need to really be very, very grassroots engagement; it goes a long way. We still see pockets of violence here and there, but at least it is reduced greatly, and we just hope to keep reducing it like that till, I mean, we get a near-perfect type of situation.”
