Famous Hausa singer, Dauda Kahutu Rarara, known for his numerous songs in honour of President Muhammadu Buhari, has, in a new song, hit the President hard for his poor record on security.
In the song, he led a group of other prominent Hausa singers under the ‘13-13 Kannywood‘.
The news of the new song went viral when his spokesperson, Rabi’u Garba Gaya, posted it on his Facebook page, which triggered speculations about whether Rarara has parted ways with Buhari.
Recall that early last year, the Buhari praise-singer had begun a movement asking Nigerians to sponsor his next album (harp-song) with a token of N1,000 each. The singer said he wanted the public to sponsor a song that will highlight the achievement of the Buhari-led administration.
Ever since he made that announcement public, fans have been waiting for the release of the song, as it was reported that millions of Naira were realised.
However, the singer’s fans were astonished when instead of a praise song for Buhari, the singer sang against insecurity.
According to reports, in the song, Buhari was criticised for “failing” in his promise to protect lives and property.
A stanza in the song goes like this: “Only a few people now reason with you; insecurity has been on the increase, both in cities and villages. What started as a hear-say has become reality. Our wish is to see that we have put things back on track”.
