It seems the Rivers state comedian haven't been left alone on his reasons why he abandoned his political ambition of becoming Rivers state governor. In a new interview with the Ecomium Magazine, he still insisted he didn't chicken out as most of you think but left to focus on his career and majorly because his dear mum and wife wasn't comfortable with politics- so i'm asking didn't he consult them before 'his people' whom he accused of pushing him into politics, pushed him to contest, and who are these 'His people" if his mum and wife aren't inclusive??
Yes, I have to shelve my governorship ambition after I met with my Ikwerre, Rivers kinsmen who advised me to allow the riverine people of the state to take their turn. My mom, whom I love so much was not happy with the idea. She has this impression that politics is not for decent people. She believes it is a ‘dirty game’ only meant for ‘evil men.’ But that’s not really what politics is all about. Even if it is the case, good people like us have to change this perception. My wife is also not comfortable with my joining politics. It was all of these and the voices of my kinsmen that made me change my mind.I didn’t chicken out! Whether they like it or not, politics is all about negotiation. I, however, don’t owe them any apologies. I know what I want. I know what my people want.
