Popular Nigerian musician, Martins Okechukwu Justice, widely known as J Martins has announced his interest to run for political office in 2023.
The famous originator of the hip-life music genre in a statement released by his management, Orion Music Empire said: “The situation in our country has made it increasingly important for everyone with ideas especially those with successful careers and professionals to embrace politics and bring aboard their wealth of experience to help fix our country.”
According to the Abia born singer: “I made the decision to run for political office in response to repeated requests from my lovely people of Arochukwu/Ohafia to represent them at the federal level.
“It would usher in a new era in Nigerian politics, and while only God has the complete solution to humanity’s problems, I pledge a paradigm shift that will result in the supply of basic amenities of life that our people deserve,” he hoped.
J Martins further campaigned: “I am not a rookie in politics as many may presume; those who have followed me closely over the years know that I have kept close eyes on my constituency and have been regularly involved in grassroots politics in Abia State.”
The artist stated that he will make a formal announcement to the effect in a few weeks’ time, soliciting the cooperation of friends and family.
