A Nigerian entertainer and activist, Folarin Falana,
popularly known as ‘Falz’ has called on Nigerians to intensify efforts towards
exercising their franchise in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
Falana, who made the call on Tuesday during an interview on
Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’, said Nigerians are not angry enough, noting
that everyone needs to react more.
He said that politicians want people to think that their
votes do not matter, emphasizing that the best way to hold them accountable is
at the ballot.
“It looks like a lot of people are listening. I’m hoping
that even more people will listen and be encouraged. One thing that we keep on
saying is, we’re not enraged enough.
“We’re not angry enough. We need to react more. A lot of
times we speak truth to power and point fingers, but we have to challenge
ourselves also.
“The most important people for this are first-time voters.
If our votes didn’t matter, politicians would not be doing everything within
their power to try and influence results. If votes didn’t matter, there would
not be vote buying.
“If there is an overwhelming majority of people moving in a
certain direction, it will be impossible for them to cheat,” he said.
