“I decided to join politics because of how the country is going. I know how Nigeria was when I was younger, but now, things keep getting worse. And I want to start a family and raise my kids here.
“So, I have to make sure I try my best to be among the policymakers because whatever policy is enacted will ultimately affect me like every other common person.
“And also, most of the present crop of politicians are aging out, and whatever policy they are making today, my friends and I will be at the receiving end tomorrow,” he explained.
The actor contested for the Lagos State House of Assembly seat in 2023 under the Labour Party but lost to Desmond Elliott.
