“Eluu P! 75; Eluu Pee! 76; Eluu P! 77; Eluu Pee! 78; Obi! 79; Kererenke! 80; Obi! 81; Obi Nwannem! 82…” and it goes on.
Those were the words of Stephen Muoka, a fair-skinned young man who was chanting at his polling unit on February 25, as the votes were being counted.
His name has become Eluu P overnight, having found an amusing way to calm tension at a polling unit.
In the video that went viral, he was seen counting the votes happily with the presiding officer while other voters joined him in counting joyfully, as the Labour Party presidential candidate got the highest number of votes in Stephen’s polling unit.
Even if you have not been following the 2023 presidential elections, you must have heard someone around you sing the “Eluu P” song.
There were claims made via videos and posts online, as to how some voters were disenfranchised and the results announced by INEC were doctored.
This made some citizens unhappy with the way the elections were conducted by INEC. The dissatisfaction has continued even after Bola Ahmed Tinubu was declared the winner of the 2023 presidential elections.
Eluu Turns Influencer Overnight
Many still feel their votes didn’t count.
Despite this, Nigerians found a way to entertain themselves by singing Stephen’s chants, which went viral on social media.
Different music producers and DJs also worked on the song, which made it more enjoyable for people to groove to.
Instagram influencer Tunde Ednut shared a post of Stephen tagging his page, and in 48 hours, his followers increased by over 100% and still counting.
He couldn’t get over his newly found fame as he shared a video thanking Tunde Ednut and his new fans.
