Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, a Nigerian rapper and activist, has sent a message to youths ahead of the February 25th election. Falz, who was vocal during the #EndSars campaign, has emphasized the importance of Nigerians voting against bad leadership in the country.
In an online video, the rapper urged Nigerians not to make excuses for not voting because it is time to decide their fate. He noted that the Labour Party (LP) movement has grown quickly into a formidable third force. The rapper urged young people to ignore those who would discourage them from voting and instead focus on the goal of determining who rules.
He said: Oya election don come oooo this is my PVC, I’m sure you have yours and you are ready to vote. I don’t want to hear any of that rubbish that my vote will not count, so what’s the point of voting? Oh God, please nobody should annoy me, this is 2023, with everything we’re going through, if there are still some people saying that, then really and truly I don’t know what is wrong with them.
Somehow, we have been able to gather momentum, unbelievable momentum for this formidable 3rd force. I say to you it is very possible, forget about all those pessimists, all those cynics that are coming to you, all those irresponsible people that apparently love to suffer and want to keep this status quo forget about those people and just focus on the goal. The goal is that we the people this time around, have decided that we are going to choose who rules us.
