Kennis Music Vice President and multiple award-winning gospel act, Kenny Saint Best who spoke with Thisday Newspaper has made her intentions known to venture into politics in the 2015 general elections. KSB as she’s fondly called wants to run for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly. She recently spoke to Adedayo Showemimo on the reason why she’s embracing politics at this stage and other sundry issues.
Speaking on why she is venturing into politics, KSB said:
“I reside in Onigbongbo local government area of Lagos State and for over six years, I’ve been part of the local government in the area of development. Basically in the area of education, development of the public school and upgrading of public schools in Onigbongbo local government. At the state level, I am the main act at the state children’s Christmas party and I was very active during the 2007 elections that brought in Governor Fashola. I’ve always been quite active in the background in politics, but it was last year that I decided that I can do something about changing the face of youth development in Ikeja and Lagos as a whole. Apart from being a youth coach, youth pastor that requires me to see to the development of the youth, I have a yearning and pull towards the street and seeing that every girl that comes out to hustle on the street at night should have a privilege to become a better citizen, and be given the privilege of better productivity in the areas of what they can do to improve their lives apart from prostitution.
Kenny Saint Best who stressed that she was not going into politics for ulterior motives also said she wasn’t quitting her music for politics.
I can’t leave music, music is me I am music.
