The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State, Senator Ayogu Eze, has promised to link iconic musician, Chief Mike Ejeagha, to Musical Copyright Society of Nigeria (MCSN), to ensure regular payment of royalties accruing from his numerous musical albums.

Senator Eze, who made the promise at the weekend, when he visited the elder statesman, regretted that despite his contributions to humanity through musical work, he has been abandoned by the society. The APC governorship candidate assured Ejeagha that his sufferings would soon come to an end, if he takes over as the governor of Enugu State in 2019.

He said his administration would establish social security that would take care of people like him, even as he promised to reconstruct his residence at Abakpa, if he becomes governor. Eze later gave undisclosed sum of money for Ejeagha’s upkeep and medical needs. 

The home of the music legend became a mecca of sorts last weekend following a facebook post revealing that the musician was not finding life easy. The APC guber candidate, Eze was the first to visit the home of Ejeagha while the State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi visited thereafter same weekend. The governor reported to have promised footing the medical bills of the musician and that of his ailing wife, reconstruct the road leading to his residence as well as putting him on a monthly stipend.
