Kenny Ogungbe says artists should stay away from political campaigns

Music Producer and CEO of Kennis Music, Kenny Ogungbe had a recent interview with Sahara TV. In the interview, he discussed Nigeria politics and the influence of music. The veteran did not approve of artiste being used as campaign tools and he warns them to desist from it.

 He said: “during politics, they will use musicians to gather people together at their campaign grounds, and they will use music to sell their manifestoes”.  

He went further to say: “If a popular one (artist) is involved, you will be zeroing in on a particular party. Let’s say Davido. He is known to be PDP. Anywhere there is APC, they see him as PDP and they will cut him off. If you’re APC, if you go to PDP, they cut you off, but if you’re a big artiste, I will advise you to stay (out) and allow them to do their campaigns. After winning, you now celebrate the winner, because the winner will be the one in government”.
