It is no longer news that Rivers State-born singer Muma Gee, who is married to Nollywood actor, Prince Eke and a recent mother of twins, has joined the growing list of Nigerian entertainers in politics.
Now mostly based in Port Harcourt, where she relocated to since a few years back, Muma Gee was in Lagos during the week, where she intimated entertainment journalists of her intention to go into politics and the reasons behind it.
‘It has always been a thing of pain in my mind when I see how some people are being marginalised. When I see women suffering under-development, it has always been a thing of pain in my mind when I see women and children suffering in abject poverty. It’s extremely sad that we sit back at home and complain about the leadership of this country. It’s my civic responsibility to ensure that I use the gift that God has given to me to liberate my people. I am conscious that there are many youth out there who believe in me and in my cause as an artiste, a personality and a role model to the young ones,’ she said.
On why she joined the PDP, Muma Gee stressed that she joined the ruling party because of what the party stands for.
‘I believe that power belongs to the people. I do also believe that the people have to be empowered, and that power should by the people for the people. And the party stands for the masses. That’s why I choose the party as a platform to express my ultmost desire to serve my people. In fact, to ensure that good leadership is put in place in my state, I had to relocate from Lagos back to my home land few years ago in preparation for this, and it’s now that the reason is properly unveiled. In pursuit of my foray into politics, I decided to get married four years ago and have children. Initially, I didn’t want to have children for a start, but now, I have twins.’
