Falz’s tweets expressed his frustration:
- “They say make you leave am, you no gree. Say na your birthright. You can’t now turn a deaf ear.”
- “How long do you think you can keep on pushing the people back before it blows up in your face?”
- “You tried to make it look like the protests were ‘politically motivated’. Shebi una don see now?”
- “Genuinely don’t know why it’s so difficult to be humane.”
Falz argued that the government is trying to downplay the protests as politically motivated, but the real issues are the economic struggles faced by the people. He urged President Tinubu to address these problems and show more concern for the citizens before things get worse.
