Nigerian musician Skales has addressed recent online criticism regarding his views on the nation’s political environment. Writing on the social platform X, the artist clarified that he holds no allegiance to any political party or specific leader.
“I have seen all the posts targeted at me and I repeat again I do not rep any political party,” he stated. He emphasized that as a resident of Nigeria, he shares in the frustrations caused by poor governance. Skales explicitly rejected the idea that his critiques imply support for any opposition faction, asserting that the country deserves leadership quality beyond current offerings.
The singer previously denied allegations that he received payment to endorse a particular political agenda. He reiterated that he maintains a deliberate distance from political matters due to his disappointment with established parties. For Skales, the current political establishment has failed the populace, and he continues to advocate for a fresh approach to governance. Public reaction to his stance remains divided, with some fans supporting his independence while others suggest that neutrality acts as a political choice itself.
