In a new song, veteran Nigerian singer Eedris Abdulkareem calls on Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, to talk to his father about the nation’s deteriorating situation.
In the track titled “Tell Your Papa, “Which was shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Abdulkareem delivers a blunt message, painting a grim picture of the hardships facing everyday Nigerians.
The song comes in response to Seyi Tinubu’s recent comments in Adamawa State, where he described his father as “the greatest president in Nigeria’s history.”
He said, “Seyi, tell your papa country hard. Tell your papa people dey die. Tell your papa this one don pass jagajaga.”
The hip-hop legend criticised the President for not fulfilling his pledges and drew attention to the rising rates of insecurity, inflation, and suffering in the country in a mix of music and message.
“Seyi, how far? I swear your papa no try. Too much empty promises. On behalf of Nigerians, take our message to him; kidnappers dey kill Nigerians.
“Seyi, try travel by road without your security make you feel the pains of fellow Nigerians. You dey fly private jets, insecurity no be your problem,” he sings.
