Prolific Nigerian pop music artiste and ‘Nigeria Jaja-jaga’ crooner, Eedris Abdulkareem, says that he accepts money from the Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomole, because he loves to be identified only with Governors that are popularly acknowledged to be ‘doing well’.
The pop artiste declared this position
during last Saturday’s SaharaTV’s Inspiration segment with Omoyele
Sowore, in effect saying he could not accept a gift from those
politicians who are failing to serve the people. During the interview,
Eedris also talked about his famous feud with Nigeria’s former
President, Olusegun Obasanjo; his tussle on a plane with American
rapper 50cent; and other controversial issues. On former President
Obasanjo, Eeedris opted to refer to the embattled man as ‘Baba’
throughout theinterview. He insisted that he has never taken money from
Obasanjo, nor did he assume a low profile for some time after he
released his famous Jaga-jaga album because he was jittery. “I have
never collected anymoney from Baba before. Eedris Abdulkareem is a
social crusader and my responsibility is to use music to add values to
the lives of common people who can’t speak for themselves”, he
declared.
