Famous Hausa singer, Dauda Kahutu Rarara, has rendered song against President Muhammadu Buhari on insecurity as a shortcoming of the current administration.
Rarara who is known for his numerous songs in honour of Buhari and other key Northern politicians leads a group of other prominent Hausa singers under the 13-13 Kannywood.
The development generated a debate on whether the diehard supporter of Buhari is no longer with him.
The news of the new song went viral when his spokesperson, Rabi’u Garba Gaya, posted it on his Facebook page.
Early last year, the Buhari’s singer had begun a movement asking Nigerians to sponsor his next album (harp-song) with a token of N1,000 each.

Rarara said he wanted the public to sponsor a song that will highlight the achievements of the Buhari-led administration.
Since he made that announcement public, fans have been waiting for the release of the song as it was reported that millions of Naira was realised.
But, some people condemned the singer’s demand, describing it as fraudulent while others swore that he will not realize much to sponsor the intended song.
Ironically, the singer’s fans were astonished when instead of a praise song for Buhari, the singer sang against insecurity.
In the song, he criticizes Buhari for “failing” in his promise to protect lives and property.
A stanza in the songs goes like this, “Only few people now reason with you, insecurity has been on the increase both in cities and villages. What started as a hear-say has become reality. Our wish is to see that we have put things back on track.”
Those who featured in the songs are Aminu Ladan Ala, Nura M Inuwa, Ali Isa Jita, among other prominent Hausa singers.
