I Don’t Fear Speaking To Power – Falz Speaks Ahead Of 2023 Election

Rapper Falz, real name Folarin Falana, claims that the 2023 election will be the most significant poll in Nigerian history.

During an interview with Arise TV, the rapper discussed the political landscape and the nation’s ruling class.

Additionally, the singer claimed that this election would be unique from others because Nigerians are “angry and agitated” and want positive changes.

“2023 is definitely going to be a very major year for the whole country and probably the most important years in our history,” he said.

“A point where everyone is angry, agitated and nobody wants us to continue to go down the deep drain we seem to be going. I can say for sure that the youth definitely want to see a new dawn.

“I’m also doing everything in my power to get as many people to participate in the election. I think what worked against us over the years is apathy.

“A lot of people don’t care about politics or think their vote doesn’t really matter. But now, more than ever, I think we all want the same thing and if we do not go ahead and participate in the election then we won’t see the Nigeria we actually deserve.”

The rapper had earlier urged Nigerians to register as voters and choose the right leader for the country the next year.

“We’ve seen so much nonsense that the authorities haven’t owned up to. There’s so much rubbish going on,” he said,” he had said.

Regarding his lack of fear in speaking “truth to power,” Falz claimed that Nigeria has already reached its lowest point.

“It’s a rough environment we’re living in. But I feel like there’s nothing to be scared of when you’re already at rock bottom. That’s how everyone should be feeling. It can’t get much worse than this,” the rapper said.

“Why would I fear for my life when the kind we exist in is not exciting. Basic amenities are unavailing. Every Nigerian is one small sickness away from either going broke or passing away. What kind of life is that?

“What’s there to be happy about or fear for in life so fickle and fragile? I’d rather die fighting for a cause than getting knocked down by a biker because there’s no proper traffic control. It’s as simple as that.”

The singer added that the nation needs a comprehensive overhaul in all areas.
