Nigerian rapper and actor Falz has criticised the Federal Government's priorities, describing the "Emi L'okan" campaign slogan as the most absurd thing he has ever heard while questioning the administration's response to the country's security and economic challenges.
“If you look at what has been spent on acquiring new vehicles, acquiring jets, acquiring all these things, and look at what has actually gone on with insecurity and what we’re facing, what are your priorities? And you’re out here talking to individuals. This is actually your job to do. It’s wild,” he said.
Reacting to the First Lady's recent comment that the pressure on the government is too much and that young Nigerians should help, the rapper said public office is a responsibility that leaders willingly sought.
“What do you mean pressure on the government? Did anyone beg you to take up this role?” he asked.
Referring to the administration's campaign slogan, Falz added, “Do you know what that translates to in English? It is my turn. I’ve never seen anything more absurd than that in my entire life.
“That means from day one that you set out on your political journey, this is the day that you have been waiting for. So what can you come and say pressure is much on you? Are you okay?”
He also questioned whether creating more foundations was the solution to Nigeria's problems, insisting that citizens expect the government to focus on addressing pressing national issues rather than shifting responsibility.
