Nigerian rapper, Falz, has criticized the Federal government’s response to the nationwide protest against the country’s economic crisis.
In a series of tweets, Falz questioned the president’s empathy and highlighted the potential consequences of disregarding the people’s grievances.
Falz’s tweets included:
“They say leave it, but you refuse. Claiming it is your birthright. You can’t ignore this forever.”
“How long do you think you can suppress the people before it backfires on you?”
“You tried to dismiss the protests as ‘politically motivated’. Now see for yourself.”
“I genuinely can’t understand why it’s so hard to show compassion.”
The rapper also highlighted the disconnect between the government and the genuine concerns of the populace, countering the authorities’ portrayal of the protests as politically driven.
Falz’s stance aligns with other public figures and celebrities who have criticized the government’s approach to the crisis.
The message is a plea for action, urging the president to acknowledge and tackle the nation’s issues before it escalates further.
