“I Take Money From Adams Oshiomole Because He’s a Good Governor”... Eedris Abdulkareem

 Prolific Nigerian pop music artiste and ‘Nigeria Jaja-jaga’ crooner, Eedris Abdulkareem, says that he accepts money from the Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomole, because he loves to be identified only with Governors that are popularly acknowledged to be ‘doing well’.
The pop artiste declared this position during last Saturday’s SaharaTV’s Inspiration segment with Omoyele Sowore, in effect saying he could not accept a gift from those politicians who are failing to serve the people. During the interview, Eedris also talked about his famous feud with Nigeria’s former President, Olusegun Obasanjo; his tussle on a plane with American rapper 50cent; and other controversial issues. On former President Obasanjo, Eeedris opted to refer to the embattled man as ‘Baba’ throughout the interview. He insisted that he has never taken money from Obasanjo, nor did he assume a low profile for some time after he released his famous Jaga-jaga album because he was jittery. “I have never collected any money from Baba before. Eedris Abdulkareem is a social crusader and my responsibility is to use music to add values to the lives of common people who can’t speak for themselves”, he declared. 

Eedris further corroborated his statements on twitter earlier today:
