I’m yet to recover money spent on 2015 electioneering campaigns – Tony Tetuila

Afro-pop star, Tony Tetuila has said he is yet to recover the money he spent during the 2015 election.

Recall that Tony Tetuila recorded a song for the governor  elect, Babajide Sanwo-Olu during his gubernatorial campaign.

In a chat with Punch, Tetuila noted that that he didn’t collect money from Sanwo-Olu, who is now the governor-elect of Lagos State.

He said, “I am a member of the APC; so, I did the song as my contribution to the campaign of the incoming governor of Lagos State, Sanwo-Olu. People shouldn’t forget that I am a politician too; I contested the state House of Assembly election in Kwara State in 2015.

“I didn’t show any interest in the 2019 elections because I lost so much in 2015. The present administration promised me an appointment but they didn’t fulfill it; so, I felt I should just focus on my music.

“Although I have yet to recover the money I lost in 2015; in politics, you must be ready to sacrifice before venturing into it. This time round, I wasn’t ready to face the challenges of politics.”
