Eedris To Release New Album For Goodluck Jonathan

Veteran Nigerian rapper, Eedris Abdulkareem, plans to show his support to the current Nigerian Government by releasing a new album titled "G2G".

The much-maligned Goodluck Jonathan-led democratic administration has been in power for its first term, and has been roundly criticized for its handling of the Boko Haram terrorist sect, partial removal of the fuel subsidy, and rampant political in-fighting, amongst others. But Eedris is getting none of that, as he wants to show his support.

The rapper, who appeared on Channels TV’s Sunrise, said his new album, G2G, is in support of Jonathan’s government, who he believes has done well. He also pointed out the positives in the Government, mentioning specific projects carried out within the past 3 years.

“Since I was born a Nigerian growing up, I have always known that propaganda is the issue and they just share the money up and down. This Lagos-Ibadan expressway has been there for fifteen years by the former Minister of Works, Baba Tony Anenih and they didn’t do anything . Goodluck is doing that road. That is the Federal government road, He is working on it. Eedris stated.

"Our airport has been reformed. Thirdly our agricultural sector, farmers don’t get their fertilizer directly but today they get their fertilizer, fertilizer is now a big business. So it is important we say all these things because most people don’t know. We all know that the insecurity is propaganda."
