The Afrobeats artist and businessman Oluwatosin Ajibade, better known by his stage as Mr. Eazi, has spoken candidly about his future political goals.

The "Skin Tight" singer, who just wed Temi Otedola, the daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola, stated in a Snapchat video broadcast that he plans to run for president soon.

He revealed that he has been thinking about becoming president of an African nation for some time.

"I've been considering it. I believe it's time to let you all know. Some of you may be from a country, particularly in Africa, and you are searching for a president who is capable of advancing your nation more effectively, forward-thinking, youthful, and energetic, rather than someone who is only interested in wealth and power.

Therefore, he announced, "I'm officially putting myself forward for the presidency."

Although Mr. Eazi was born in Nigeria, he has a strong bond with Ghana, where he studied and began his musical career.

According to reports, he claimed that Ghana had an influence on his music, which he dubbed "Banku music."

More Nigerian celebrities have entered politics in recent years, running for office and holding elected office.

Actress Eniola Badmus, who declared in April 2025 that she intended to run for senator in the near future, is one of several others who have similarly made public their future political goals.

The artist Davido was allegedly projected by former Senator Ben Bruce to become the governor of Osun State.
