Facebook deletes Dauda Rarara’s account as northerners mass-report him for claiming Tinubu solved Nigeria’s poverty in new song
The Facebook account of Dauda Kahutu Rarara, a popular northern APC praise singer, has been deleted due to mass reporting by his followers after he posted a song praising President Bola Tinubu.
The musician’s official Facebook account, Dauda Kahutu Rarara, with over one million followers, could not be found after Facebook deleted it on Saturday.
Amid economic hardship characterised by spiking food prices, Rarara uploaded a song praising Mr Tinubu for making Nigeria great and saving northerners from “hunger and insecurity.”
“Tinubu has made Nigeria great. Northerners have said goodbye to hunger, insecurity and poverty,” said Rarara in the song.
Rarara’s song comes in the wake of planned nationwide protests to begin August 1 over heightened economic hardship that has seen food prices surge by over 100 per cent.
Though Rarara, in his controversial song, claimed northerners are free from insecurity and hunger, his mother was recently kidnapped by bandits in Katsina last month. She was later freed after some days in bandits’ den.
