Renowned northern Nigerian musician, Dauda Kahutu Rarara, delivered a high-energy musical performance that thrilled President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, and an array of political leaders and dignitaries at a major public event in Adamawa State.
The atmosphere turned electric as the celebrated praise singer mounted the stage, performing signature political and unity-themed songs that have made him a dominant voice in northern socio-political music culture.
His performance drew enthusiastic reactions from the audience, with visible applause and engagement from top government officials present.
President Tinubu, who was in the state for official engagements, was seen acknowledging the performance alongside Governor Fintiri and other senior government functionaries, reflecting the cultural significance often attached to music in political and civic ceremonies across the region.
Rarara, widely known for his politically themed compositions and campaign anthems, has built a reputation as one of the North’s most influential contemporary musicians, using his platform to promote unity messages, governance themes, and national cohesion narratives.
Observers at the event noted that beyond entertainment, the performance added cultural colour and grassroots connection to the gathering, reinforcing the role of creative arts in public communication and political engagement.
The Adamawa outing further underscores the enduring intersection between music, politics, and mass mobilisation within Nigeria’s democratic landscape — where performers like Rarara continue to shape public sentiment through rhythm, messaging, and cultural symbolism.
The National Patriots Movement notes the cultural vibrancy witnessed during Rarara’s performance in Adamawa but cautions against overexuberance that led to guests dancing and spraying naira notes — an illegal act that disrespects the national currency. We commend officials present for immediately intervening to halt the incident. Future events should include prior announcements sensitising audiences on lawful conduct, even amid electrifying performances.
