Some big wigs were quick to advise the singer on the decision and one of them was Captain Mike Mukula  who hit his social media platform to warn the self-titled doctor to go slow on politics for it might mess his music career and financial base.

“My advice to my good friend Chameleone is go slow on politics, it will erode your financial base and could ruin your entertainment …don’t say I didn’t advise you, take or leave it, experience has taught me” Mukula tweeted.

However, Chameleone acted not shaken, as he assured Capt Mukula that he is ready to take on whatever comes his way, but not ready to give up on politics.

“Thank you my great friend, ‘Great men pave way for greater men’ now that they didn’t, we shall pave our own way and for greater men after us,” Chameleone responded.
