Nigerian music legend, Tuface Idibia has declared his intention to contest a political post, come 2019. Speaking to newsmen on Tuesday, in Lagos, the singer said that he is ready to take up the challenge of affecting lives positively. It is high time, good people, start getting involved in politics, he said. He also urged that youths get involved in politics.<\/p>\n
Politics affects everything I do. So, I am definitely going to be interested in politics. I will soon participate as a contestant and speak the truth at all times.<\/em><\/p>\n
I hope and pray that good men will rise up and make a difference in this country, because we need more patriotic people in all aspects of life.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He called on Nigerians to come to the aid of th<\/em>e victims of herdsmen crises.<\/p>\n
There is so much we\u2019ve been saying about this crisis, but nothing much has come the way of the victims.<\/em><\/p>\n
We just need more people to support and join hands to continue extending relief materials to affected people.<\/em><\/p>\n
This is the most important thing we\u00a0 can now do; bring succour to the victims.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
People should be sensitised on safety precautions, in times of crises, he said.<\/p>\n
The singer, however, appealed to the government to ensure lasting solution to the herdsmen crises;<\/p>\n
This thing is going on for too long, repeating itself over and over. There has to be a solution, the victims are not goats they are humans and should be taken care of.<\/em><\/p>\n
I feel terrible not because it also happened in Benue State, where I hail from, but because it is also happening almost throughout the federation.<\/em><\/p>\n
It does not have to happen to someone you know before you speak up about it.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
