Folarin Falana, the Nigerian hip-hop artiste professionally known as Falz, says the forthcoming general elections is going to be the most important in the history of elections in Nigeria.
The rapper stated this during an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday where he bared his soul on issues pertaining to the 2023 general elections.
“2023 is definitely going to be a very major year for the whole country and probably the most important year in our history,” he said.
Falz, who is also an activist, said Nigerian youths who have become ‘angry’ and ‘agitated’ with the current state of the nation are more interested in the upcoming election than before.
“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,” he noted.
Reiterating his commitment to seeing many people get involved in the political process, he noted the importance of eligible electorates coming out en masse to cast their votes on the election day.
“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,” Falz said.
“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.”
