The Digest:

Nigerian rapper and activist Falz has called for President Bola Tinubu to resign, citing a collapse of security. The demand, made on social media platform X, was triggered by the recent abduction of students in Niger State and the killing of a senior army officer in Borno, drawing a direct parallel to a 2014 tweet in which Tinubu himself called for then-President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over similar failures.

Key Points:
  • Falz has called for President Bola Tinubu's immediate resignation.
  • The demand was made via a post on the social media platform X.
  • It was prompted by the Niger school abduction and the killing of Brigadier General Musa Uba.
  • Falz quoted a 2014 tweet from Tinubu criticizing ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
  • In the old tweet, Tinubu argued that Jonathan should resign over insecurity.
  • The call reflects growing public frustration with the security crisis.
  • It highlights the use of a leader's past words to hold them accountable in the present.
The moment underscores a recurring national cycle where the critic becomes the criticized, and past demands for accountability return to challenge present power.
