Vice-President Namadi Sambo on Thursday advised the APC presidential candidate, retired Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, against committing suicide by planning to personally lead the war against Boko Haram terrorists, if elected president. Sambo gave the advice at the PDP Presidential Rally in Yola, Adamawa. The vide president said his advice was against the backdrop of the advice given to Buhari by his presidential running mate to personally lead the war against Boko Haram if elected President in next month's presidential election.

In an interview with Encomium magazine this week, actor Saidi Balogun said the reason entertainers run away after politicians is because of poverty - Below is what he said.. "(Poverty), that's why you see some of our people running helter-skelter, campaigning for all these politicians. But there's one question we have all not asked, and that's what makes American artists donate to politicians while the actors here in Nigeria are asking from politicians. Every member of the National Assembly has not made an reasonable law on piracy which has devoured the industry. So, there's poverty in the industry. If there's not, you won't see our people flocking around all these politicians, campaigning, singing and dancing for them. I saw a candidate being surrounded by some of our colleagues; I now said to myself, 'if this man eventually wins, how many actors or musicians will he remember? Although some are doing it to make ends meet. And it's sad becau...

Olamide seems to be serious about the Buhari and Osibanjo campaign and endorsement and has done a song to that effect. The YBNL boss has before now featured in a couple of campaign songs the APC,  but now he has recorded a song of his own to endorse the APC presidential candidate and his running mate. The first song is titled ‘APC Ese’ (Thank You) while the second is titled ‘The Change We Want’.  We are not surprised; Osinbajo was present at Olamide’s album launch last year and even described Olamide as an impressive young man.
