Nigerian musician and Leadership Artiste of the Year, Skakes has made known his stand, insisting that he desires good governance and rule of law working in the country and not in support of any political party.
The musician with the real name Raoul John Njeng-Njeng has been vocal about issues in the country in recent times, urging Nigerians to get their permanent voters card (PVC) and let their votes count in the coming general election.
In a message posted on X, the musician reacting to backlashes said, “I have seen all the posts targeted at me, and I repeat I do not represent any political party … I live in Nigeria, and I am affected by the Mis leadership just like everyone else!
”I am not in support of the present leadership nor the candidates for election, and I will not settle for lesser evil …no matter how you want to spin it in your heads, this is my truth at the end of the day. I don’t support any of them. We deserve better. “
This comes days after the singer dismissed claims that he had been paid to promote a political agenda. In an earlier post, Skales said he deliberately keeps his distance from politics because he has lost faith in the country’s major political parties.
“Nobody paid me. As a matter of fact, I’m staying as far away as I can from politics, but I am a Nigerian citizen,” he wrote at the time.
He added, “I do not support none of these political parties because they have all failed Nigeria. We need something fresh.”
Skales is one of the musicians who is vocal about issues in the nation and desirous of positive change.
