‘It’s time to heal’, Samklef announces presidential bid

In a series of Twitter posts on Monday, the musician, born Samuel Oguachuba, said he would officially declare his interest for presidency on Wednesday.

 “Some Nigerian youths want me to declare for president. They said they want courageous youths like me. I will declare on Wednesday. You cannot be living like a slave in your fathers house. Time to kick out the hooligans entitled, power mongers politicians. Join me now!” he wrote.

“Time to take back your right. I samuel oguachuba have decided to create a new movement for the Nigeria youths. I want volunteers! It (is) time to heal. UNMP.”
