It is no longer news that Tony Tetuila of the defunct pop
group Remedies has intentions to run in the forthcoming general elections in
2015.
When he officially declared his political ambition, it was
welcomed by few of his fans who hoped that the entertainer would make himself
useful to his people of Irepodun Local Government of Kwara State at the Kwara
State House of Assembly.
But when the part-blond, part-black haired musician came up
with his campaign poster, which some said looked more like a promotional poster
for a forthcoming music concert rather than a political poster, doubts began to
creep in about seriousness of his intention and his state of mind to step into
bigger shoes.
Even some entertainers weren't comfortable with Tony’s
bohemian looks; Toolz Oniru for instance made a meal of it on her television
show.
However, it has been reported that the political power
houses of Ilorin have told the musician to keep his aspiration on hold and
advised him to wait for his turn. Though it is not clear whether Tony is
listening to the words of the elders or insisting on trying out his luck. But
there is a disturbing feeling if Tony’s appearance hasn't done some damage.
