In a twist of events, Fik Gaza, the popular Ugandan musician, declared his bid for parliament in Makindye West. With his undying love for ghetto, Fik made the announcement more interesting as he promised his campaign symbol would be a shoe since he’s still at the grassroots level.
In an interview with Sanyuka TV, Fik let the beans spill about his education journey, an interview that left the interviewer and listeners agape. He has spoken candidly about quitting school after completing O’level but let his fans know that he is back in school. “For a ghetto boy like me, education is something I can work around,” he exclaimed once more, affirming his determination to conquer the challenges of getting the required qualifications.
Fik Gaza’s aspirations go beyond politics. He revealed that he is putting up a house for his mother along Masaka Road, an indication of how much he values family. More so, he revealed plans to construct his own building on recently acquired land, an indication of how much this young man thinks about the future and development in his life.
The transition from musician to politician generally strikes a chord, as he seeks to represent the voice of the youth and what bothers the community. Fik is charismatic, and his background is something that quite a number can relate to, so interesting candidate that causes interest and conversation in relation to grassroots figures in Ugandan politics.
With this journey now beginning for Fik Gaza, the humour, authenticity, and ambition that he brings into this should surely resonate with the voters and encourage others from similar backgrounds to pursue their own political ambitions.
