Nigerians React As 9ice Joins Sanwo-Olu’s Eleventh Hour Strategy To Win Heart Of Lagosians (Video)
In what could be termed as last-minute moves to win the hearts of residents, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has engaged in several campaign methods ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
Nigerian singer, Abolore Adegbola Akande, popularly known as 9ice, also stormed the streets on Tuesday, to campaign for Sanwo-Olu.
Naija News reports that this is coming amidst the recently paid N1.2 billion pension, the release of impounded vehicles free of charge, and free medical screening for residents.
A video shared on his social media page captures the singer and some other people moving from one place to another to campaign for Sanwo-Olu’s second-term bid.
He wrote: “Door to door, knock on the door of your friends and enemy for His Excellency @jidesanwoolu”
The singer’s action sparked mockery comments from Nigerians.
