Timaya Urges Nigerians to “Vote Right” in 2027, Warns Against Four More Years of Hardship

Nigerian singer Timaya has urged Nigerians to carefully consider their choices ahead of the 2027 general elections, warning that voting based solely on immediate personal benefits could have consequences beyond election day. Speaking about the country’s political situation, the singer said Nigerians should look beyond short-term gains when deciding who to support at the polls. “If na wetin you dey find to chop now put for your pocket, na your business. No be one day o. Na another four years of hardship. If you know what’s good, you have to vote right,” Timaya said. The singer also questioned the relationship between some political leaders and the realities faced by ordinary Nigerians. According to Timaya, his travels outside Nigeria have exposed him to wealthy Nigerians and politicians whose families, he claimed, live abroad while they continue to operate politically in Nigeria. He questioned whether politicians whose families do not live in the country can fully understand the challenges facing Nigerians. “They’re all selfish, even the ones that’re just coming and promising us they’ll be better,” he said. Timaya also expressed concern about another administration potentially causing further hardship and said he hoped Nigerians would not experience another period of suffering. His comments come as public discussions around governance, economic conditions and voter choices intensify ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 election cycle. Source: GistReel — Original Report
