Nigerian singer and rapper, Falz, has criticized Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu over his gratitude post to the citizens of Lagos.
The Governor was recently re-elected under the APC, and Falz, who supported the Labour Party candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, seemed displeased with the election outcome, citing reports of violence and rigging.
Falz went on Twitter to express his dissatisfaction, stating that Sanwo-Olu had not been elected by the people and had forcefully elected himself, which was a fact that everyone could see.
Excerpts from Sanwo-Olu’s statement reads, “Thank you Lagosians! I am deeply humbled and grateful for the overwhelming support and trust of the good people of Lagos State. I am honored to be re-elected as your Governor and pledge to continue to work tirelessly to deliver a better Lagos for all.
“Thank you for believing in me.”
In response to the Governor’s post, Falz replied angrily, saying, “You were not re-elected. You selected yourself. Everybody saw it unfold. You are only deceiving yourselves.”
