In his latest musical release titled “Emi Lokan,” Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has directed strong criticism towards Pastor E.A. Adeboye, a renowned religious figure, urging him to publicly address the shortcomings of the current administration. Abdulkareem highlights what he perceives as Adeboye’s silence amidst widespread hunger and hardship experienced under President Tinubu’s government.
The rapper recalls Adeboye’s vocal stance during the presidency of Goodluck Jonathan, where the religious leader not only spoke out but also pledged to lead a million-man march in protest. Abdulkareem questions why similar action is not being taken now when Nigerians are facing severe challenges.
Abdulkareem does not mince words in “Emi Lokan,” calling out what he sees as hypocrisy and urging Adeboye and his followers to demand accountability and justice from the government. He stresses the urgent need for Adeboye’s influential voice to be heard in advocating for the people’s welfare and addressing the nation’s pressing issues.
Furthermore, the rapper uses his platform to advocate for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, commend the labor union for their efforts on behalf of Nigerian workers, and propose that members of the National Assembly receive a minimum wage to better understand the plight of ordinary citizens.
Here are the specified lyrics of the song:
…senator and House of Representative members should be paid 65k let all of us dey enjoy the suffering and smiling. what you give is what you deserve, Free Nnamdi Kanu
Where is our daddy? PA Adeboye during GoodLuck Jonathan your voice was so loud you
