‘Waste’ your vote wisely on Sowore, Mr 2Kay tells Nigerians
Grafton Records artist, Abiye David Jumbo, better known as Mr 2kay has urged his followers on social media and the Nigerian electorate alike to waste their votes on the African Action Congress (AAC) Presidential (AAC) candidate Omoyele Sowore.
The ‘Bad Girl’ crooner who had earlier announced his support for AAC Presidential candidate through a post on Instagram made the call while in a conversation with Sowore which was streamed live on Facebook.
Charging Nigerians to support Sowore, Mr 2Kay said, “We are taking it back to make it good. The truth be told, I think it’s time to give back to the country.
“It’s better to do, as they say, waste your vote, if you want to waste your vote, waste it on Sowore. Waste it wisely, and then it can be recycled because it is very productive.
“Why I’m supporting your race is that I believe you have the idea that we need to help this country get to the next level, get better and I think it’s time for us to give young people, that is why I’m supporting you, I’m supporting Banky, and Mr. Jollof”

“Basically, I’m supporting you fully, I’m giving you my vote and I’m asking the people I can influence and my followers to just go on and support you as well on Saturday.”
The singer also revealed that he has been attacked for publicly confessing his backing for Sowore adding that the situation of the country is sickening as citizens are being exploited daily.
“Some people attacked me and said I’m wasting my vote. I am tired of those people; they have been recycled and always come back. They are all the same, I am sick and tired of writing proposals and someone else will read it, make so much money from it and give me little.
If elected into power, Mr 2Kay urged Sowore to invest in the creative industry and make loans available for entertainers when he becomes the President.
He then charged young people, social media influencers, bloggers and entertainers to come out en-mass and support Sowore.
“Don’t go to rallies because of the penny they will give you. You can take the money when they offer but vote for Sowore,” he stated.
