The co-owner of Kennis Music, Adedayo Adeneye, popularly known as D-One has declared his intention to vie for the seat of a state lawmaker, representing Odogbolu State Constituency in Ogun State, southwest, Nigeria.

D-1 is a well known name in the entertainment industry in Nigeria and globally. He revealed that his mission to join politics borne out of his belief to put smile on the faces of his people and create a positive change where necessary with his determination to always bring out something from nothing.

Speaking with PM News exclusively today in Odogbolu at the declaration ground, where people from all walks of life were in attendance to give support to political bid, the Ibefun born media guru turned politician declared that he wants to revolutionalise governance the way he alongside his partner, Kenny Ogungbe did to the entertainment
industry.

“All of us are political animals, just that some are more active than others. If you sit down in the beer parlour or in your room discussing about what the government is doing, the governor, the president, even the council chairman. If you are talking about roads, electricity, welfare, we are being political, just that some are more
active than others. I don’t want to sit on the fence again and complain anymore, I for once, want to be part of those that will effect change.

“I decided to be more active because I am an agent of change, positive change. Just as we did in the entertainment industry, we want to become an agent of change in governance. Together with Kenny Ogungbe,we have been able to revolutionalise the entertatinment industry, if we can do that with the little resources we have, what would you
expect from us if we have the machineries of government behind us. Instead of sitting and be complaining, I have decided to join the politics.

“If you know my track record, I have always been a trailblazer. I don’t follow the path of others. If I can take
youngmen and turn them to a world class multi billionaires, they became people known everywhere in the world. People like D’banj, Tony Tetuila, Eidrees Abdulkareem, who is the first and youngest Nigerian to carry the big torch. Since the track record is there, give me the chance, I am a well known personalty, I know what my people want and you too know what I’m capable of doing, you will see what will happen,” D-1 promised.
