The Koko Below crooner had reportedly been approached
to thrill supporters of Senator Iyiola Omisore, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the August 9 governorship election in Osun State.
However, the award-winning act, who would not want to
sell his conscience for a pot of porridge, stoutly declined
the offer. For a man who is seen as a social commentator of sorts, especially considering the oeuvre of his music, he was said to have rejected the offer purely on moral
grounds. In a very biting and soul-searching piece, he
said: “Though the court of the land discharged and
acquitted you (Omisore) in the murder case against the
former Minister of Justice in Nigeria, the late Cicero of Esa-
Oke and foremost nationalist, Chief Bola Ige, I have deep-
rooted innermost conviction that you are culpable in the
death of my mentor and benefactor. If you offer me all the
allocation of Osun State during your four-year-tenure
peradventure you win (which I seriously doubt), I will not
perform for Iyiola Omisore governorship election.”
Since the news went viral, there have been strong
reactions from his fans saluting what some described as his daring stance, unlike some other artistes who would
prioritise pecuniary motive over any other consideration.
