Why I joined Politics – Kannywood Actor, Lawan Ahmad

The Katsina-born actor hinted that he is into politics because his business of entertainment deals directly with the people.

Lawan Ahmad disclosed this in an exclusive interview with Daily News 24 in Kano.

Ahmad said: “I joined politics because we do interact with the people. And as we do, some do come to us for help. Thus, I felt since I am not part of the government, I have to join politics to be able to reach out to as many people as possible when they need me.”

The Kannywood actor added that “I am into politics whether Allah will give me the chance to govern the people. I would be glad to because I do care for the wellbeing of the people.”

The Izzar So Movie producer insisted that he had no time to quit politics.

“I am a politician and will always be one. I know if election time comes, even if I did not contest, my friends will do. And, we will all work towards achieving the cause.”
