Rewind to August 3! That was when Nigerian pop singer Kingsley Okonkwo , popularly known as Kcee released posters that showed his intention to contest the Anambra governorship election holding in November. Following an outpouring of support from fans on social media, the singer has maintained, during a chat with HIP TV, that the decision to join in the gubernatorial election was not a joke.
“My campaign manager said I should not speak much about it and that’s what I’m going to stand on. I’m going to be making an official statement about it but trust me it’s not a joke.
“I think the youth has to speak up and that’s what I’m saying right now.
