Peller who runs the famous
Quilox Night club in Lagos says, ‘one thing I can say for certain is I will be
actively involved in the political process going forward, I will no longer sit
back and watch things go bad‘.
King of night life, Shina
Peller has officially declared his political ambition in a lenghty Instagram
post moments ago.
“As we all know, election
season in Nigeria is fast approaching and political gladiators are already
building their war chests but the average young Nigerian is bothered less. It’s
almost like a feeling of powerlessness and despair, most believe the processes
have already been predetermined by the powers that be so why bother wasting
time to get a voters card talk less of actually voting. The common notion is
that the candidate with the largest war chest wins and we have heard many tales
of people selling their votes for less than a dollar and a bag of chips.
One thing is certain though
nobody is happy with the state of Nigeria today, most people who know me can
vouch for the fact that I have never been interested in politics and I have
never had an eye for it, but with the level of decadence in the country today I
have been forced to change my mind.
I am very comfortable
having recorded many successes in business over the years, it would be easier
for me to just sit back and watch as I have been doing over the years, but what
about the less privileged, the unemployed, the downtrodden? I need to be open
about the fact that it’s the attitude of some people that has put the country
in the situation it is in today and it is finally time for us to take
responsibility for the type of country we want to live in.
While I cannot say for
certain if I will yield to the tremendous pressure on me to run for elective
office from my constituency one thing I can say for certain is I will be
actively involved in the political process going forward, I will no longer sit
back and watch things go bad. I enjoin all young people to do the same, please
register to vote, join a political party, run for office, be the change you
seek, it’s time to stop ranting on social media and take positive actions.
The young people in Nigeria
are the most powerful single block in the country today however the old guard
try to divide us along ethnic, religious and cultural lines, but once we unite
nobody can stop us.
Lets start changing Nigeria
together today.”
be careful cos all dat money will just dissapear
