Why I would venture into politics soon – Cobhams
Visually impaired Nigerian musician and producer, Cobhams Asuquo, says the level of corruption in Nigeria is alarming, thus, Nigeria needs a leader with a good heart.
He says he is already learning some lessons on leadership as he would soon venture into the sector.
Whether physically challenged or not, Cobhams is not one who I think will allow any physical defect to deter him from achieving his set goals in life.
Having conquered the world of music, the songwriter revealed his plans to join politics.
This he made known in a recent chat with Punch.
Meanwhile, the songster recently released an album, ‘For You.’
According to him, “The Nigerian political space is filled with corrupt people but that should not stop Nigerians with good intent from indicating interests in being in the helm of affairs in the country.
“I would venture into politics later in life. I might also become a preacher.
“I would want to venture into politics because I feel like someone needs to step up and take position of leadership, someone with the heart for people and one who would do things differently.
“I am not the most perfect person in the world but I definitely have good intentions and I intend to translate them into results. That is how I live my life.
“I learn and get better and I think I am building the skills for leadership.
“I know a lot of people who are not corrupt and they want to venture into politics. So what should we do? Because the political space is filled with corrupt people we should do nothing about it and let corruption reign?
“We have to try. We have already hit rock bottom and the only way to go is up; so it is worth trying.”
