Veteran Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has responded to the Federal Government’s decision to ban his newly released protest song, Tell Your Papa, which criticizes President Tinubu’s leadership.

The track was officially prohibited on Thursday by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), which described the song as “offensive.”

In a post shared on Instagram later that same day, Abdulkareem condemned the ban, calling it a clear attempt by the government to silence dissent and suppress freedom of expression.

Drawing a comparison to the 2004 ban of his well-known protest anthem Jaga Jaga, the artist accused the current administration of being both “vindictive” and “insensitive” to the struggles of ordinary Nigerians.

Sharing the NBC memo regarding his song, he wrote: “It is obvious that in Nigeria, truth and constructive criticism is always deemed a big crime by the government.

“President Bola Tinubu-led government is now going on record as one of the most insensitive, vindictive and grossly maleficent administration that has ever presided over the affairs of Nigeria.

“They are instructing broadcast houses to shield the government by hiding the candle under the table. Anyone wonder why Nigeria has not made impactful strides all these years? The conscience is an open wound, only the truth can heal it.”
