During the interview she was asked about her intention of going to politics and she reveal some missing point that have affect the grown of Nigeria entertainment industry.
How have people reacted since you made your intention to go into politics known?
People are excited, and they know what I and my family have done in the Nigerian entertainment industry. For instance Davido has won Best African act awards at 3 international awards this year and yet no governor or brand has said well done to him for making Nigeria proud, simply because it’s not sport. Imagine the hype and government support for Blessing Okagbare who won Gold at Glasgow. This is simply because we don’t have a structure to support entertainment. Now that I’ve decided to stick my neck out to bring Nigerian youth to the point of relevance, people are really giving me all the support. If the government cannot create a ministry for the entertainment industry, they can create an agency for it, just like LAWMA and co.
