Burna Boy, the Afro-fusion singer, has given reasons for his silence regarding the elections.
In an Instagram post on Monday, the singer said that he doesn’t have any candidate he believes in.
He added that he has never supported any candidate because he doesn’t want to influence people’s choices and have them disappointed.
“I dunno why it’s such a big deal to some Nigerians that I’ve not been vocal about the elections. Personally, I don’t have a candidate that I believe in,” he wrote.
“I’ve never supported any political party or candidate in my life because I don’t want to make you vote and then blame me when the person f*cks up as usual. That being said, I hope all votes count and the best man wins.”
On Sunday, the Afro-fusion singer appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure the presidential election results are not altered.
“Let Nigeria decide o! @inecnigeria! No try any result magic 🇳🇬,” he wrote.
The presidential election was held on Saturday with a total of 18 candidates contesting for Nigeria’s highest office.
Out of the 18 presidential candidates, four are leading the race for the election.
They include; Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party
