Mr Wellington, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives candidate for Eti-Osa Federal Constituency, joined the party in April.
Eti-Osa is a constituency in Lagos State, South-west Nigeria.
Before winning the PDP ticket in May, he had contested for the position in 2019 under the default Modern Democratic Party platform, but lost in the general elections.
The musician, who spoke when he appeared as a guest on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Wednesday, explained that the decision to join politics was driven by his desire for good governance in the country.
“As long as I have been relevant in the art world, music, film and as a small entrepreneur, I have always been very vocal about the need for good governance and the need for young people to participate in politics,” he said.
Mr Wellington said that in his quest for good governance, he has participated in several peaceful protests and activism for change.
He said he realised in 2018 that the system would not change if he failed to join politics and cooperate with like-minded people to make the system in the country work.
“For me, the message started to change from raising awareness via activism and advocacy to saying that we have to start moving from protests to power. We have to start taking this energy and channelling it towards getting like-minds into government and using that consensus of like-minds to get a change,” Mr Wellington said.
He added that “we need to start focusing on the National Assembly, the Senate and House of Representatives, and the States House of Assembly.”
He said the Nigerian problem comes from “top-down” and that the solution can only come “from the bottom-top,” stressing that the country can only be changed for good with the involvement of young people in governance.
The 41-year-old musician said he joined politics despite a warning from his wife who held the view that politics is “dirty and dangerous.”
“The truth of the matter is that politics will always be dirty and dangerous until good people start to be intentional about putting the like-minds in the system,” he said.
Why PDP?
He said his choice of PDP was informed by the fact that the party’s ideology on democracy aligns with what he stands for.
Mr Wellington said he was not coming to defend “everything bad” that the PDP-led governments may have done in the past but “I am here to reform it. I am here to build the bridge into mainstream politics, starting from Lagos and Eti-Osa.”
Wrestling power from APC
Eti-Osa, like other constituencies in Lagos State, is a stronghold of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mr Wellington expressed confidence that he would displace the APC in the constituency in 2023.
He said the APC had been winning elections in the constituency because of political apathy on the part of many voters, saying the recent interest of Nigerians in the forthcoming elections will reverse the trend.
He lauded the enactment of the 2022 Electoral Act, which he said legalised the use of technology and ushered electronic voting in the country.
He said the law would frustrate possible attempts to rig the 2023 poll.
“The fact that the Electoral Act was passed has done amazing things for our democracy because now this election will be won or lost at each individual polling unit. No one can go into a room somewhere in a collation centre and thumbprint hundreds of ballots for their candidates. Now, you actually have to win the votes.
“By the law, the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System has to accredit that you are who you are and that this (PVC) card belongs to you. And that you are legally allowed to vote at this polling unit. Also, the result from that polling unit cannot be different from what the system accredited. Because no more manual accreditation and the results are transmitted electronically to INEC server,” the PDP candidate said.

Nigerian musicianAsa is threatening to sue her colleagueJoeboy for copyright infringement a month after the latter released his new song ‘Contour’.
‘Contour’ was produced by Alague Michael Chidozie, also known as Tempoe.
In a legal notice shared on Joeboy‘s Instagram stories, Asa‘s Management claimed that the former’s new song samples a musical composition she had done.
They claimed that the producer, Tempoe, who was present during her recording sessions, used her composition on ‘Contour’ without her consent.
“We are aware that the use of our composition in the song was not authorised by our client, neither has she reached any commercial arrangements with you and your team for the recording, public performance, commercial release or distribution of the song which embodies our composition.”
Asa and her team are demanding thatJoeboy should apologise, pull down ‘Contour’ from all streaming platforms and pay her 60% of the publishing proceeds and ₦300,000,000 in damages.
“We, at this moment, demand that you immediately remove the song from all DSPs and any other platform within 24 hours of your receipt of this letter, with a written apology issued to our client, as well as halt any additional infringements of our composition including any other infringements.”
“We also demand that the sum of N300,000,000 and the 60% publishing split on the song be assigned to our client,” parts of the statement read.
Reacting to the notice, Joeboy noted, “cos I dey always do love and light you think sey I be soft meat. You said I have 24 hours; it’s been 48hours, do something [sic].”
Meanwhile, music journalist Joey Akan alleged that Asa is suing Tempoe and Joeboy for a beat she did not pay for.
Tempoe is suing Asa mainly for his production on IDG and another record.
Asa is suing Joeboy for a beat Tempoe worked on for her but she reportedly didn’t use or pay for, but Joeboy did.
Tempoe got his injunction and brought down her music. Let’s see if she gets hers too.
He wrote, “Tempoe is suing Asa mainly for his production on IDG and another record. Asa is suing Joeboy for a beat Tempoe worked on for her, but she reportedly didn’t use or pay for it, but Joeboy did. Tempoe got his injunction and brought down her music. Let’s see if she gets hers too.”
Injunctions are the hardest things to get in Nigerian court. You have to be able to convince a judge that you are the creator of the work, with emails bearing time stamps, your stems and timelines.
Tempoe did and forced litigation. Time for Asa to prove to a judge and get one.
A report by Premium Times Nigeria indicates that this is not the first time Asa and Tempoe have been involved in a legal copyright suit.
Earlier this year, Tempoe sued Asa and P.prime over copyright issues. This led to the retraction of Asa‘s song with Wizkid, IDG, and another titled ‘Love Me or Give Me Red Wine’ off her ‘V’ album.
Tempoe got a court injunction and had the songs taken off digital streaming platforms.
He claimed he initially made the beats for those records, but because he and Asa failed to conclude on the finances, she went to P.prime to reproduce the beats.
