Renowned Nigerian rappers, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz the bad guy and Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, better known by his stage name Vector, have expressed their views about the 2023 elections in their latest song, ‘Yakubu‘, titled after the chairman Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yabuku.
Yabuku conducted the Nigeria presidential, gubernatorial, national assembly and state assembly elections and has been condemned by many due to some purported electoral malpractice, violence and lack of transparency.
The singers on the new song represented frustrated Nigerians and didn’t hold back on calling out INEC, its chairman and other political parties allegedly involved in the electoral malpractices.
Yabuku‘ serves as Falz’s second official single for 2023 and is a follow up to the previously released ‘Owa‘ featuring Tekno.
