Netizens have expressed their reactions after Tanzanian President John Pombe Magufuli quoted Sauti Sol's song 'Extravaganza' while illustrating points during his speech.
While addressing a gathering in Dar es Salaam, Magufuli borrowed some lines from the 'Extravaganza' song, creating excitement among netizens.
Taking to their Instagram page on Monday evening, Sauti Sol shared a video of Mafufuli's speech, praised and wished for him to remain in leadership for a long time.
"That is why we say his honorable President Dr John Magufuli should remain at the top (Ndio maana tunasema Rais Mhe. Dkt John Magufuli atabaki kileleni)," Sauti Sol wrote on their Instagram page.
Netizens praised Magufuli for supporting musicians citing that the fact that he could quote Sauti Sol's song meant that he really cared about the music industry.
Some even wondered where such a busy president would get time to master the lyrics of a song.
A section of the netizens nonetheless pointed out the fact that Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta had never quoted a song from a musician, yet President Magufuli recognised talent from Kenya.
Others noted that the fact that president Magufuli could listen to Sauti Sol's song meant that the band was producing good music that appealed not only to the young ones in the society but also the elderly.
