He will be running for the position at the Okaikoi Central Constituency.
Speaking to Joy Entertainment on February 23, 2023, the 3Music Awards co-founder said “yesterday was when the portals for forms were opened so I went through the process, did some submissions and I’m going through the endorsement process.”
