The Nigeria veteran music star, Tony Tetuila shut down rumours that he collected payment for the song he made for Lagos state governor-elect, Babajide Sanwo-Olu
According to the Nigerian singer, he didn’t collect any payment from the politician as he made the song as part of his contribution to Sanwo-olu’s campaign during the just concluded 2019 gubernatorial elections in Lagos State.
Tetuila explained that he didn’t collect money from Sanwo-Olu, who is now the governor-elect of Lagos State. He said, “I am a member of the APC; so, I did the song as my contribution to the campaign of the incoming governor of Lagos State, Sanwo-Olu. People shouldn’t forget that I am a politician too; I contested the state House of Assembly election in Kwara State in 2015.”
Speaking on why he didn’t contest in the just concluded elections, he said he was yet to recover fully from the money he spent during the 2015 elections.
The My Car singer said, “I didn’t show any interest in the 2019 elections because I lost so much in 2015. The present administration promised me an appointment but they didn’t fulfill it; so, I felt I should just focus on my music.
“Although I have yet to recover the money I lost in 2015; in politics, you must be ready to sacrifice before venturing into it. This time round, I wasn’t ready to face the challenges of politics.”
