Mr Eazi Declares Presidential Ambition, Says Africa Needs Young and Forward-Thinking Leaders

The ‘Skin Tight’ hitmaker, who recently tied the knot with Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, made the revelation in a Snapchat video broadcast obtained by PulseNets.

According to the singer, he has been quietly considering running for the presidency of an African country, a thought he now feels ready to share publicly.

“I’ve been thinking about it for some time now,” he said. “Some of you might be from an African country looking for a leader — not one chasing money or power, but someone forward-thinking, young, and active enough to move your nation forward. So yes, I’m officially putting myself forward for the presidency.”

Mr Eazi, though Nigerian by birth, maintains a deep connection with Ghana, where he pursued his studies and kick-started his music career. He has often told PulseNets that Ghana shaped his unique Banku music sound — a fusion of Nigerian rhythms and Ghanaian influences.

PulseNets reported that in recent years, several Nigerian entertainers have transitioned into politics, securing both elective and appointive positions.

Notably, actress Eniola Badmus revealed her ambition to run for the Senate in April 2025, while former Senator Ben Bruce once predicted that Davido could someday emerge as Governor of Osun State.

Mr Eazi’s declaration adds a new layer to the growing intersection between music, influence, and governance on the African continent.
