Dayo D1 Adeneye “I’m Not Joining Politics For Money, I Want To Fix Nigeria’s Problem”

Co-founder of Kennis Music, Dayo Adeneye Aka D1
has fired back at critics of his political ambition.
The wealthy record label owner said he is already a
millionaire and that he's venturing into politics to
serve Nigeria and not to enrich himself at the
expense of the suffering masses.
Hear what Dayo told Epunch in a recent interview:
"Anybody who knows me will testify that I made
money when I was young. I was a millionaire in my
20s. I have built my houses. Kenny and I were among
the first people in Nigeria to own Hummer Jeeps. We
were also among the first to own the latest models of
the Range Rover Sport Utility Vehicle. This is not
about boasting; I have made my mark. I am not
looking for money. Everybody knows my pedigree. I
am a hardworking person and I have businesses in
communication and hospitality.
"My campaign is funded from my private savings
account. I am not depending on anybody to bankroll
it. I am not begging anybody for funds, though my
friends and my relations are willing to help. I am
funding my campaign from my pocket. I am going
into politics to serve. I have decided that, since my
children are in the university, now is the time to help
build my country. What future am I going to leave for
my children if they have no country to come back to?
So I am not going into politics for money."
"Look at the rot in this country. We cannot all just sit
back in our sitting rooms and continue to complain
that the country is not good, the roads are bad and
the power sector is not working. Somebody has to
come out and do something about these things. Now
is the time to help solve the problems in my country.
And this is why I am running for a seat in the Ogun
State House of Assembly."
"When Kenny Ogungbe and I came into the
entertainment industry, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was the
highest paid musician and he was collecting only
N25,000 per show. But, today, through our efforts we
have artistes like P-Square and Tuface Idibia who are
collecting about N10m and more, per show. If we did
these things with our own funds, imagine what we
can do if given the mandate to serve the people.
"If we can take unemployed youths, people like the
Edrees Abdulkareem and the Tony Tertuilas of this
world from the unknown and turn them into Nigeria's
mega-super stars and mega-millionaires who are
contributing their quotas to nation-building and they
pay taxes, we are stimulating the economy and
creating people who are also stimulating the
economy in their own ways. Imagine that we have
the machinery of governance in our hands, how
much more that we can do for this country. That is
why I have acceded to the requests of my people to
contest for an elective office in 2015."
"For crying out loud, entertainers are also serving
Nigeria in their own way. They provide the people
entertainment. Comedians make you laugh and
musicians make you happy, yet you don't want to
vote for them. Are they not Nigerian citizens? They
have a right to vote and be voted for,"
Dayo Adeneye is running for a seat in Ogun State
House of Assembly (Odogbolu constituency) under
All Progressives People Party, APC.
