Falz puts INEC Chairman on hot seat in new song.
The Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has been the target of a song by Falz, real name Folarin Falana.
Falz collaborated with Hip Hop singer Vector on the single, which is named after INEC Chairman ‘Mr Yakubu,’ and is intended to criticise the handling of the 2023 federal elections.
The activist teased a portion of the music video on his official Twitter profile, piquing social media users’ excitement.
He had previously chastised the electoral board for allocating N300 billion to organise an election that many international and local observers, as well as well-meaning Nigerians, condemned as a fraud that was neither credible, free, or fair.
He also provided a sample of what is assumed to be a representation of the result sheets which were tampered with after Nigerians cast their votes.

Falz and Vector have chosen to use the diss track to discuss the election.
The chairman of INEC, as well as political parties that were allegedly complicit in the electoral malpractices, were denounced by the son of Femi Falana, SAN in the song.
His lyrics said; “Mr Yakubu! Ę ma ń se bi fraudster, you don’t want to prosper, come and collect, oscar 300 billion te gbà lówó ìjoba, kí le fi se ná sir.” Vector had some critical points to buttress as well.

‘Mr Yabuku’ comes as the second official single for Falz in 2023 and it is a follow-up to the previously released sociopolitical song ‘Owa’ which features Tekno.
