Controversial musician Wilson Abubakar Saldido AKA Willy Paul has announced his ambition to vie for the Mathare Member of Parliament (MP) seat in the fast-approaching 2022 General Elections.
Taking to Instagram, the music sensation posted a poster of himself with a caption that assures Mathare constituents a change when he ascends to power.
“Are you ready Mathare? Let’s bring that change.”
His announcement comes as a shocker as the singer stated earlier that entertainers who join politics are failures and oppressors who seek to maltreat those who are below them.
“Msanii anaingia politics ni failure. Anajua hawezi survive kwa industry so anataka aingie pale anyanyase watu. I am not a failure. I cannot join politics.” Willy Paul had stated in an interview with SPM Buzz.
Going by the current declaration by the Nimelewa hitmaker, he will be seeking to unseat the current Mathare MP, lawyer Anthony Tom Oluoch, of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
He is yet to announce the political party that will sponsor his candidature, his political outfit, or his desired candidate for Presidency in the 2022 polls.
Willy now joins the stream of entertainers who are debuting politics. Some of the artists who will be in the polls in 2022 include Jasper Muthomi AKA, MC Jessy for South Imenti MP seat, and comedian Jalang’o for MP, Langa’ta.
Some of his fans took to the comment section to congratulate the singer, and some criticized him. Here are some of the reactions.
@Its_fulati – “Mathare Mp, na haukusoma weeh usitupime.”
@Iamcalvin01 – “Si wewe ndio ulisema mwanamziki akianza politics huwa ameishiwa na content, we can now confirm.”
@Collo_001 – “Diana anafanya ulie je ukipatana na Moses Kuria uko na Sudi, utakufa mzee.”
@Coolkid_dennoh – “I am voting for you.”
@Chegekenya – “Yes, you can.”
@Lyyn.kay1 – “Chunga usibaki kusimama, hao hawawezi kupa kiti.”
