Veteran Nigerian rapper and activist Eedris Abdulkareem has sparked fresh controversy following his strong remarks against President Bola Tinubu over the handling of the recent attacks in Jos.
The outspoken “Jaga Jaga” crooner made the comments while addressing a gathering in Edo State, where he openly criticised the president’s response and what he described as a lack of genuine engagement with victims.
His reaction comes amid growing public debate surrounding the president’s visit to Plateau State, particularly the decision to limit movements to the airport area rather than meeting affected communities directly.
During his speech, Abdulkareem did not mince words as he vented his frustration, drawing loud reactions from the audience.
He said:
“Tinubu is the worst president. Anyone supporting APC, may Nigeria happen to you,”
before turning his attention to the controversial visit:
“Commander-in-Chief, wey get all the security go Jos no fit enter town to go console those wey die from terrorist wey him and him government arrange us. Tinubu na biggest fraud. And anybody wey support am, may Nigeria happen to them.”
His comments were met with chants and loud “amen” responses from sections of the crowd, reflecting the charged atmosphere at the event.
Abdulkareem, known for his history of politically conscious music and activism, has often used his platform to challenge government actions. His latest outburst adds to the ongoing national conversation about leadership, security, and accountability in the wake of the Jos attacks.
“Tinubu is the wørst president. Anyone supporting APC, may Nigeria happen to you. He went to Jos to console victims but didn’t visit the affected community. Seyi said he’s doing well, if true, we’ll confirm it”
