According to ajapareporter.com, Controversial rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has directed sharp criticism at the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, in his latest single, ‘Emilokan.’ The song targets what Abdulkareem perceives as a double standard in Adeboye’s approach to addressing national issues under different administrations....CONTINUE READING
In his lyrics, Abdulkareem alleges that Pastor Adeboye exhibited hypocrisy by vocally opposing poor governance during the tenure of former President Goodluck Jonathan but has now shifted to labeling Nigeria’s issues as spiritual under President Bola Tinubu. This, the rapper suggests, is a significant departure from Adeboye’s previous activism. The rapper calls on the clergyman to organize a one-million-man protest against Tinubu’s government, mirroring his stance during Jonathan’s presidency. Abdulkareem’s message implies a demand for consistency in holding leaders accountable, regardless of the administration in power.
Through ‘Emilokan,’ Abdulkareem emphasizes the need for influential voices like Pastor Adeboye’s to continue speaking truth to power, especially in times of widespread hunger and hardship. His lyrics challenge the religious leader to maintain the same level of activism and public engagement he once demonstrated. He said: “Where our daddy, Pastor Adeboye? During Goodluck Jonathan[‘s regime], your voice was so loud. You even vowed to stage a one-million-man march. Hunger and hardship under Tinubu government, you say Nigeria get spiritual problems.
