Popular rapper Falz has said that he never publicly supported any politician during the 2023 general elections. He recently had his say during an appearance on Prime Time, a programme on Arise Television.
Stressing that his focus has always been on encouraging civic participation, not endorsing candidates, Falz revealed that he only wants a free and fair democratic process for every Nigerian.
He added that Nigeria’s political system makes it very difficult to endorse anyone ahead of the 2027 elections.
His words, “Just a point of correction. I never, in 2023 or at any point, openly supported any politician or party. I have only actively encouraged people to go out and vote.
I clamour for a free and fair democratic process. I haven’t stuck out my neck for any politician for obvious reasons.
I think it’s very important to strengthen our democracy in this country. We’ve been going in cycles, and it just seems like almost the same crop of people we keep on reshuffling, and at the end of the day, it’s tough to even sit anywhere and vouch for a Nigerian politician in 2026.”
