M.I at the event, M.I revealed that he has never been part of a political campaign and has never publicly supported any politician despite the offers he gets from them. He said "I’ve never supported any politician and if you see me support any, there’s a reason. Mr Ambode is here today because he’s my very good friend and he supports me.’ ‘Why I did a photo Exhibition A lot of fans and music industry pundits wondered why M.I would organize a photo exhibition and lecture after a long break from music, rather than focus on promoting his new single KING JAMES.
