The Gongo Oso hitmaker declared his intention via Instagram, stating that he wants a seat in the Federal House of Representatives for Ogbomosho North/Ogbomosho South/Orire Federal Constituency in 2015.

Singer 9ice has officially declared his intention to run for a political office in the 2015 Nigeria General Elections.

9ice has aspirations to contest for a seat in the Federal House of Representatives for Ogbomosho North/Ogbomosho South/Orire Federal Constituency in 2015.

This was confirmed after the singer shared his primary campaign poster on Instagram. The poster shows the 'Gongo Oso' maestro looking ceremonial, in a traditional white garment, an orange coloured native cap, brown trousers and a shoe, in a setting which reeked of opulence.

News of his political ambition had broken out in January 2014, with the singer confirming his switch from music to politics in an interview with newsmen.

“I’m leaving music, I need to go into something more challenging. Music is no longer competitive for me, I’ve done all that needs to be done in music”. He revealed to Hiphopwold.

9ice who is famous for his use of the Yoruba language in songs, follows a well-trodden path, which has had many entertainers give up their talent for leadership.
