Daddy Showkey Opens Up On Passion For Music, Advocacy

Daddy Showkey has opened up on his passion for music and his interest in advocacy while clarifying that he is not quitting music for advocacy.

The veteran musician in a chat with Punch’s Saturday Beats said he has been an advocate “right from time”.

Showkey who was in the news for calling on the government to remove the tankers and containers parked within Ajegunle said:

“I have been an advocate right from time; music is inside me. I am always in the studio working, so it’s not as if I have left music for advocacy Showkey is still Showkey.”

The Gala crooner explained further that he decided to make this call because, “People’s lives are in danger and they are important to me. The tankers always obstruct the road and if there is an emergency, people will not find an escape route easily.

Every business around Ajegunle is dying because people cannot access the area easily. I wanted the governor to see what the people are going through and I am happy that he has finally intervened.”

He also spoke about the removal of the container terminal in Ajegunle Donclimax, another call he made to the government on his Instagram page.

“The container terminal in Donclimax should also been moved; it is high time we started showing concern over the welfare of ordinary people within Lagos State and Nigeria generally,” Showkey said.

“Why would they build a container terminal in a residential area? A container terminal is supposed to be close to a seaport. I will keep advocating for my people, because they are the ones that listen to our songs and buy my albums,” he added.
