News Update
THE Nigerian music star Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has sparked massive discussions online after a video surfaced showing him hinting at a possible presidential run.
The clip, which appeared online on January 8, 2026, captured the singer in a relaxed moment with family and friends as he spoke about politics.
In the trending video, Wizkid surprised many by openly talking about contesting for Nigeria’s highest office.
The moment quickly went viral, with fans and critics debating whether it was a joke or a serious long-term plan.
In his words, he said: “Wizkid political party. WPP. I am running for presidency in the year 20…”
He stopped short of naming a specific election year, leaving the statement open to interpretation.
Introduction of the Wizkid Political Party (WPP)
Beyond the presidential tease, what caught even more attention was Wizkid’s announcement of his own political platform.
According to him, his movement would not align with major Nigerian parties like APC, PDP, or Labour Party.
Instead, he introduced a new party named the Wizkid Political Party, shortened as WPP.
The timing of the video raised eyebrows, as it came just hours after Wizkid hit a historic achievement.
