Rapper Skepta Calls Out President Tinubu Over Insecurity In Nigeria by Cutezt(op): 9:09am On Jun 01*

Renowned British-Nigerian rapper and music executive Skepta has sparked intense debate across social media after directly calling out Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over the worsening economic hardships and rampant insecurity plaguing the West African nation.

In a concise post on X on May 30, 2026, the Mercury Prize-winning artist, born Joseph Olaitan Adenuga Jr., explicitly tagged the president’s official handle, @officialABAT, demanding answers for the country's ongoing turmoil.

“How much suffering is enough? @officialABAT,” Skepta wrote.

The viral post, which instantly garnered millions of impressions, comes amidst a backdrop of severe national anxiety. It follows a separate impassioned video address from the rapper, in which he raised the alarm over rising insecurity and systemic injustices in Nigeria, pleading with the international community, global activists, and fellow celebrities to amplify the voices of everyday Nigerians.

“There is so much injustice in Nigeria,” Skepta stated in the viral video clip. “Whenever I can, whether it is at my shows, verbally or through images... we are going to speak up. Nigerians need help. We need people to speak up for us as well. We need to protect Nigerians.”

The failure of our leadership is so glaring that even a blind man can feel its impact. From broken infrastructure to economic instability, insecurity, the inefficiency of our leaders is an undeniable reality experienced by every single citizen daily.

Good one from skepta. This is how to call out a government. Unlike the Agulu people that are mocking those kids..

Tinubu is already addressing the issue right from the day it happened. Lots of security apparatus had been deployed over the area to calm things down since then..

Tinubu has also added more forest guard to enhance the process. It’s just a matter of time now, those kids would come out of hidden..

Thank you Skepta for your attention and your care..

Expecting a change from him is unrealistic. His defense of these policies shows that political loyalty has completely overridden his conscience.

While our hearts break for the students in Oyo, we cannot forget that over 40 students were also kidnapped in Borno. 💔 Every single one of these children matters, and their families deserve answers. Let’s keep the same energy and amplify ALL of them. Safety shouldn’t depend on geography. 🇳🇬🙏
