I Never Supported Peter Obi Or Any Other Politician – Falz

Nigerian rapper and actor, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has clarified that he has never publicly supported Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, or any other politician.

Speaking during an interview on Prime Time on Arise Television, Falz said he has always encouraged Nigerians, especially young people, to participate in elections rather than endorse any political party or candidate.

He explained that his focus has been on promoting a free and fair democratic process.

Falz said:

“Just a point of correction. I never openly supported Peter Obi or any politician or party in 2023 or at any point. I have actively encouraged people to go out and vote.

“I clamour for a free and fair democratic process. I haven’t stuck out my neck for any politician for obvious reasons.”

The entertainer also urged Nigerians to remain actively involved in the country’s democratic process ahead of the next general elections.

He added:

“I think it’s very important to strengthen our democracy in this country. We’ve been going in cycles, and it just seems like almost the same crop of people we keep on reshuffling. At the end of the day, it’s tough to even sit anywhere and vouch for a Nigerian politician in 2026.”
