On April 21, 2017, Samklef in a post on Twitter called for the resignation of [[Muhammadu Buhari]] who served as the [[president of Nigeria]] from 2015 to 2023, in a post he made via his [[Twitter]] handle he said "My opinion! I think president Buhari needs to suspend himself by resigning to save us all".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Galaxy Television {{!}} Nigerian music producer, Samklef pleads for the president's resignation |url=http://13.42.91.68/entertainment/samklef-calls-for-buharis-resignation |access-date=2024-07-12 |website=Galaxy Television |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=johnson |first=ayodele |date=2017-04-21 |title=Music producer wants Buhari to resign from office |url=https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/celebrities/samklef-music-producer-wants-buhari-to-resign-from-office/91dlt6e |access-date=2024-07-12 |website=Pulse Nigeria |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=October 8, 2018 |title=Step down, Samklef advises Buhari |url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/10/step-down-samklef-advises-buhari/}}</ref>

In October 2021 samklef came under significant scrutiny for remarks about [[Muhammadu Buhari]] and [[Northern Nigeria]]. On the [[social media]] platform Twitter, the artist expressed a strong opinion suggesting that the North, apart from [[suya]] — a popular regional dish of roasted beef — has produced nothing of positive consequence. The statement specifically targeted President Buhari, asserting, "Buhari will forever be a failure nothing good can come out from the north except suya." This declaration sparked divergent reactions among followers, with some endorsing the sentiment while others vehemently criticized him for painting an entire region with a broad stroke. The incident stirred a wider debate on the portrayal of regional identities and the responsibility of public figures in shaping perceptions through social media platforms.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-10-30 |title=Nothing Good Can Come Out From The North Except Suya – Samklef – Independent Newspaper Nigeria |url=https://independent.ng/nothing-good-can-come-out-from-the-north-except-suya-samklef/ |access-date=2024-07-12 |language=en-GB}}</ref>
