Rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has expressed that for Nigerian leaders to gain public sympathy upon their death, they need to empathize with the experiences of the citizens.
Following the varied responses to the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, the singer issued this statement.
Reports suggest that Buhari passed away on Sunday afternoon at a UK clinic after reportedly battling leukemia.
As his political allies pay tribute to him, many Nigerians continue to criticize and accuse him of various failings.
In a social media post, former Senator Shehu Sani urged citizens to forgive Buhari for his imperfections.
"A person who is still alive cannot pass judgment on those who have passed away. Let the departed soul remain at peace," Sani remarked.
In an Instagram post on Monday evening, Abdulkareem responded to the situation by advising Nigerian politicians to demonstrate empathy during their lifetime if they hope to receive sympathy after they pass away.
To receive sympathy after death, you should demonstrate empathy during your lifetime.
"After your life, the legacy you leave behind reflects your actions. Innalilahi wa innalilahi rajuhun," he wrote.
