Falz Rates Tinubu’s First 2 Years, Draws Online Debates: “Isn’t it Too Early to Judge Emilokan?

• Rapper and activist Falz criticised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying the country has witnessed more regression than progress since he took office
• Referencing Tinubu’s famous campaign mantra, “Emilokan,” Falz questioned the president’s preparedness for leadership
• He lamented that over a year into Tinubu’s term, there was little to no visible achievement, urging the government to come up with a clear plan as time was running out

Nigerian rapper Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz the Bahd Guy, has taken a swipe at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, stating that Nigeria has experienced more regression than development since he took over in 2023.

Speaking in a recent interview on Arise TV, the activist did not mince words as he delivered a scathing review of the government's performance.

According to him, the past year under Tinubu has been more about hardship than progress.

He said:

"It goes without saying, that more than anything, we’ve moved backwards. There is not much progress that has been recorded."

Falz also shaded the President’s famous campaign catchphrase, "Emilokan," a Yoruba expression meaning “It’s my turn," questioning what Tinubu has done with the opportunity Nigerians gave him.

He stated:

“I think I remember the campaign slogan being ‘Emilokan.’ And now it just seems like, what were you planning on doing? We are still waiting.”

Known for his vocal stance on civic issues, especially during the EndSARS protests, the rapper added that the first half of Tinubu’s term has shown no clear signs of transformation.

“It’s remaining two more years. Maybe there is still a plan. But as it stands now, first half, we never see anything,” he said bluntly.
