Folarin Falana, Nigerian rapper and activist, popular as Falz, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to resign from his position as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
This call follows the abduction of 25 students of Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, in Kebbi State, and the execution of Brigadier General Musa Uba in Borno State.
The Rapper in a post on X (former Twitter) on Wednesday, referenced the 2014 tweet by Tinubu in which the then opposition leader asked former President Goodluck Jonathan to resign for allegedly failing to tackle insecurity following the abduction of Chibok Girls.
Going down memory lane and quoting Tinubu’s words, Falz wrote: “You have consistently shown your unwillingness to protect the lives and property of our people despite pretending to care in the past. RESIGN NOW!”
The tweet by Falz cited the post in Tinubu of November 2014, seven months after the abduction of Chibok girls.
Tinubu wrote:
“Why should any part of this country be under occupation? In any civilized country, Jonathan should resign.”
It would be recalled that Tinubu had, also, made similar comments earlier that year while speaking in Ilorin, Kwara State. He accused the Jonathan administration of lying about insecurity and lacking the capacity to protect Nigerians.
According to Tinubu at the time: “I saw the sea of displaced persons caused by the Boko Haram insurgents and the lies coming from Jonathan’s administration. They have exhibited failure, lack of capacity, vision, creativity; the lie of yesterday is what they repeat today and it is what they will repeat tomorrow. They are lying to you.”
He added: “If you control the armed forces and you are the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic, why should any part of this country be under occupation? And you give us excuses every day. In any civilized country, Jonathan should resign. But if he will not resign, he should wait for our broom, we will sweep them?”
