The Nigerian political establishment's old guard has been asked to leave the scene by music icon Wizkid.

The artist claimed that the "old men" ought to be in nursing homes under his real name, Ayo Balogun.

In a conversation with The Guardian, Wizkid made comments about the elections in Nigeria in 2023.

This election, I'm about to go crazy on their asses, the songwriter and label owner declared.

“All these old men are going out of power this time." "They need to go to an old people’s home and chill out.”

President Muhammadu Buhari will leave office next May after eight years in power.

Although there are more than 15 candidates in the race to succeed him, four are prominent.

They are Bola Tinubu, All Progressives Congress (APC); Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); Rabiu Kwankwaso, New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP); and Peter Obi, Labour Party (LP).

Ex-Lagos governor Tinubu, of the ruling APC, is 70 years old; Atiku, the former vice president, is 75.

Kwankwaso, the former Kano governor, is 66 years old; Obi, the former Anambra governor, is 61 years old.

Wizkid’s new album, "More Love, Less Ego," will be released on November 11.

The release, earlier scheduled for the 4th, was postponed in honor of Davido and Chioma’s late son, Ifeanyi.

Wizkid did the same in 2020 when he moved the release of his "Made in Lagos" album by two weeks due to the End SARS protests against police brutality.
