Rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has stated that Nigerian leaders must share in the feelings of citizens if they want the public to sympathise with them in death.
The singer made this statement following the mixed reactions trailing the demise of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
OSMEK NEWS gathered that Buhari died on Sunday afternoon at a UK clinic after an alleged battle with leukaemia.
While his political allies are paying tribute to him, many Nigerians have been criticising and accusing him of various failings.
Addressing citizens in a post on his social media page, former senator, Shehu Sani, pleaded with the public to forgive Buhari his imperfections.
“A living man is still on trial and cannot judge the dead. Let the sleeping soul rest,” Sani said.
Reacting to the development in an Instagram post on Monday evening, Abdulkareem urged Nigerian politicians to show empathy while alive if they wish to receive sympathy in death.
“If you want sympathy in death, then you must show empathy when alive.
“Your legacies after life are consequences of your deeds. Innalilahi wa innalilahi rajuhun,” he wrote.
