Gospel artist Daddy Owen has officially announced his intention to join politics come the 2027 general elections, signaling a major shift from his musical and business pursuits to public service. The singer, known for his philanthropy and deep engagement with the physically challenged community, expressed strong conviction about transitioning into a leadership role, whether through the ballot or political party nominations.
Speaking during a recent interview, Daddy Owen revealed that his desire to join government is firm, and he plans to be actively involved in shaping policy, especially in areas affecting people living with disabilities. He emphasized that there’s a widespread misconception that leadership must come solely through an electoral process, but he believes there are other avenues to attain such roles, and he intends to explore all of them to secure a seat in government.
He confidently stated that he is already deeply entrenched in government circles and has been strategic about how he positions himself publicly. According to him, those who closely follow his work can already sense the direction he is heading. Over the years, he has consistently championed the rights of the physically challenged and played a key role in advocating for the amendment and implementation of the Disability Act.
Daddy Owen made it clear that his motivation for seeking a leadership position stems from his passion to bring about change from within the system. He noted that real transformation often comes from being in positions where policies are made, and he sees this as a logical next step in his advocacy work.
His transition to politics mirrors that of his brother, Rufftone, who is affiliated with the ruling party, though Owen insists he is not content with being a background player. His goal is to step into the spotlight and take an active role in leadership, where he believes his influence will be more impactful.
The musician also addressed his past personal experiences, reflecting on lessons learned from his previous marriage. He admitted to going into the union with the misconception that love alone was enough to sustain a marriage. Over time, he came to understand that purpose and alignment of values play a far greater role in the success of a relationship. He advised fellow men to seek partners who align with their mission in life, rather than making emotional decisions based solely on love.
He also spoke candidly about the dynamics of marriage, asserting that change is inevitable and men should not expect women to remain the same throughout the marriage journey. According to him, the environment, life milestones, and personal growth all influence how individuals evolve after tying the knot.
Despite his experiences, he has chosen to keep his personal life private moving forward, even stating that he would never wear a wedding ring again, regardless of his marital status. He believes this will help maintain boundaries between his public and private life.
As 2027 approaches, Daddy Owen’s supporters and followers are closely watching his next moves, anticipating how his influence and experience in advocacy will translate into political leadership.
