Mr Eazi Reveals Ambition To Become President

In a big surprise, Nigerian singer Oluwatosin Ajibade, known as Mr Eazi, said he wants to run for president of any African country that needs fresh ideas. The 33-year-old star, who just got married to rich businesswoman Temi Otedola in May, made the announcement in a short video on Snapchat. He called himself a young, smart leader who wants to help people, not chase money or power. “I’m ready to run for president,” he said plainly.

The video, just two minutes long, has been watched millions of times online. In it, Mr Eazi talked about thinking about politics for years. He asked fans from different African countries to support him by sharing their flags in the comments if they think he could lead well. “You need a president who thinks ahead, stays active, and makes your country better,” he explained. People wonder if this is real or just a fun way to get attention, especially since he has strong links to both Nigeria, where he was born, and Ghana, where he started his music career.

Mr Eazi’s move fits with other stars in Africa trying to get into politics, like actors and singers aiming for big jobs. He runs a company called emPawa Africa that helps new musicians, and he has started businesses in tech and clothes. Growing up in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, he once lost a lot of money in a bad deal when he was young, but he bounced back. With his wide view of Africa, he might win fans everywhere, but no one knows yet which country he has in mind, with Nigeria’s next vote in 2027 coming up.

Fans online are split—some cheer him on as a new hope for better leaders, while others laugh and call it wedding excitement talking. Social media is full of shares, jokes, and flags from all over Africa. Mr Eazi’s team hasn’t said what he’ll do next, so everyone is watching to see if the hit singer behind songs like “Legalize” will really step into the world of politics.
