Burna Boy, a highly acclaimed Grammy-winning artist, has recently taken to social media to express his thoughts on President Tinubu's proposed military intervention in the Niger Republic following their ongoing conflict.
The situation escalated when the Senate rejected President Tinubu's request for support in his planned military action against the military junta in the Niger Republic.
In a candid response, Burna Boy raised questions about the feasibility of waging war while the nation is grappling with soaring fuel prices. During an Instagram live session, he voiced his concerns over President Tinubu's priorities, suggesting that addressing the current fuel price crisis should take precedence over entering a conflict in Niger Republic.
Speaking in his signature Pidgin English style, Burna Boy playfully remarked, “Wettin dey sub na? Dem say na War we wan enter like this o [laughs]. Fuel never dey you wan go fight war.
“How you wan reach the battlefield? You go use…. Wettin dem dey use that generator now do? Gas generator. E shock me. Wahala no dey ever tire Nigeria”
