Official: Rapper MI Abaga To Run For Local Govt Chairman in 2015 Elections

Chocolate City Vice President and rapper,  Jude ‘MI’ Abaga, wishes to officially announce his intention to run for chairman of a local government in the forthcoming 2015 election.

MI will be campaigning for the position of chairman of the Takum local government in his home state of Taraba.

Speaking on his decision, MI said;

”It is something I’ve always intended to do: use my voice as a tool for social change. So come next year, I’ll be going full on into politics and running for Local Government Chairman in Taraba State. If you notice, all my albums have politically conscious songs. From the Talk About It Album, to various songs on MI2, I’ve always spoken for the people and am confident, when the time comes, they will speak for me too.”

Chocolate City President, Audu Maikori says while they will miss Jude’s creative input to the business, they are happy to see him take this step.

“I’ve worked with Jude Abaga for many years, close to a decade. And he is a trustworthy, dependent individual who has a way with words. Chocolate city family is solidly behind him and wishes him all the best in his political endeavours.”

The rapper plans to release his album and spend the last half of the year campaigning.

We hope his nickname 'Chairman' would bring him luck...
