Timaya urges Nigerian voters to prioritize long-term stability
Nigerian singer Timaya has urged citizens to be deliberate and responsible when voting in upcoming elections, warning that choosing leaders based on immediate personal benefits could lead to four more years of economic hardship.
During an interview with Wazobia FM, the singer criticized the disconnect between the political class and the general population. He noted that many politicians maintain their primary residences and families abroad, arguing that this lifestyle prevents them from truly understanding or empathizing with the daily struggles faced by Nigerians.
Timaya characterized these officials as selfish and expressed a desire for divine intervention against any leaders who might cause further suffering for the nation.
