Nigerian rapper Falz is once again speaking out—this time over the tragic killings in Benue State. In a strongly worded post shared on X, he called out President Bola Tinubu, accusing him of failing to protect Nigerian lives. His comments echoed the growing frustration across the country.
Falz did not hold back. He wrote, “You have consistently shown that you are incapable of performing the primary duty of securing the lives and property of your citizens. This routine statement does not cut it.” His message quickly gained attention, with many Nigerians supporting his bold stance.
The attack in Benue left more than 200 people dead. Suspected herdsmen reportedly carried out the raid. Homes were destroyed, families torn apart, and entire communities left in grief. While the public waited for a response from the presidency, silence only fueled the anger.
President Tinubu finally broke his silence after facing backlash online. In a short message posted on X, he said, “Enough is enough!” He added that security agencies had been ordered to act. “Arrest perpetrators of these evil acts on all sides of the conflict, and prosecute them,” the president stated.
He also called on Benue leaders to avoid provocative remarks and urged Governor Alia to lead peace efforts. Still, many citizens felt the statement came too late.
One user replied under Falz’s post, “We need leaders who act before it’s too late, not when pressured.” Another added, “The Pope spoke before our president. What a shame.”
Falz’s post has sparked new conversations about accountability. Nigerians are demanding more than just words—they want real action.
