Veteran singer Eedris Abdulkareem is back with a bold political statement, this time directing his message straight at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through a brand-new music video posted on Instagram on Monday, 2 November 2026.
The "Jagajaga" singer, known for decades of using music as social commentary, took a striking approach by addressing Seyi Tinubu, the president's son, in his lyrics.

The message was unmistakable: get your father to do right by Nigerians.
"Seyi Tinubu, how you dey, help beg you, papa. Your papa na good father to you but na bad for Nigerians."
Eedris raps in the track, drawing a sharp contrast between the president's role as a family man and his leadership of the country.
Eedris targets tax law and electoral system
Beyond the personal appeal to Seyi, the song also takes aim at the Nigerian legislature, accusing lawmakers of passing a new tax law while allegedly waiting to rig the next election before implementing it.

The veteran musician wove together three of Nigeria's major languages, Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa, to ensure his message cuts across every region and demographic in the country.
The multilingual approach echoes Eedris's long-standing reputation as a pan-Nigerian voice, one who has refused to stay silent on issues of governance and economic hardship since the early 2000s.
