Why I Want To Be Mathare North MCA – Eko Dydda

Gospel musician Eko Dydda recently announced that he will be vying for the Mathare North MCA seat.

Speaking to Standard Entertainment, the musician stated that he believes the time is right and he is the right leader to bring change to Mathare.

“Leadership is like a God-given talent. You can’t really hide it. I have always had this burning desire to transform my hood, having lived here for many years.

“I know what needs to be done and I have a clear plan on how to achieve my objectives,” he said.

Asked about what he intends to do differently from those who preceded him, the Bible Up hitmaker said the problems facing the people of Mathare are there for all to see and they are tired of leaders who give empty promises.

On how he will balance music and politics, Eko Dydda reiterated that music is his passion and he uses his gift to preach God’s word and influence people positively.

“I believe I can do both. I echo God’s word and I would not drop music for anything. I am not joining politics to enrich myself. I want to serve.

“In fact, I will divide my term into quarterly plans and the people will see what I am capable of. I can even use my salary to improve the lives of the residents of Mathare North,” he said.
