Nigerian rapper, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has addressed concerns on declaring for presidency in 2023.

Falz has been at the forefront campaigning against the recycling of old leaders, advocating for a better country and for the youths to lead Nigeria.

Some individuals have since asked Falz to form or join a political party alongside other young agitators and declare for 2023 presidency.

However, Falz in a podcast session with a Blogger, Lola Oj said he has no plans of being Nigeria’s President or any other political ambition at the moment.

In his words: “Being a President, I’ve never thought about it, it’s not part of the plans. I’m just a well wisher that wants everything to be ok in this country.

“I look around me and I see everything is upside down and I don’t think we should be existing like this as a people.

“There’s an entire array of greatness we’re supposed to walk into, but we’re dragging our feet, that’s the problem.”
