The appointment, effective from December 22, 2023, marks a significant milestone for the 42-year-old afrobeat sensation. Harrysong, born Harrison Tare Okiri to Ijaw parents in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria, moved to Lagos in 2007 to pursue a career in the Nigerian entertainment industry. Since then, he has become a prominent figure in the music scene.
Known for his tribute song to Nelson Mandela in 2013, which earned him the “Most Downloaded Callertune Award” at The Headies, Harrysong continued to make waves in the industry. In 2015, he collaborated with artists like Olamide, Kcee, Iyanya, and Orezi in the hit track “Reggae Blues.”
Harrysong’s musical journey, coupled with his recent appointment, has fueled anticipation among his fans. The singer assured Deltans to brace themselves for the “Kingmaker” on March 30th, suggesting potential future projects and initiatives tied to his new role.
It’s worth noting that Harrysong gained attention in November 2023 when he married 30 women in a single day. This recent appointment adds another layer to his multifaceted public persona, positioning him as not only a musical talent but also a figure in the political landscape of Delta State.
