Timaya Calls for Thoughtful Voting Ahead of 2027 Elections

Nigerian singer Timaya addressed the political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections during an interview on Wazobia FM's Chook Mouth podcast, aired on YouTube on September 19. He urged Nigerians to think critically before voting, warning against letting immediate personal needs or hunger influence their decisions.

Timaya expressed frustration towards politicians who reside overseas while governing Nigeria, questioning their genuine commitment to the country's welfare. He pointed out that many leaders live abroad with their families, which affects their concern for citizens.

The musician noted that Nigerians are trapped in a cycle of unfulfilled promises, with both incoming and sitting politicians making pledges that often go unfulfilled. In the absence of trustworthy leadership, he mentioned that many Nigerians have turned to God for hope and offered a prayer during the interview.
