Femi Kuti, son of Afrobeat legend has given reason his
family will not support any of the top three presidential candidates: Asiwaju
Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi in the 2023 election.
Kuti, while responding to the backlash over his statement
about not being ‘Obidient’, said he has his doubt about Peter Obi because he
paid visit to the likes of Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida who did not
change Nigeria and are part of the reason Nigeria is at dire need today.
He added that his family also does not support Tinubu or
Atiku because they are heartbroken.
Kuti also mentioned that Tinubu as the Governor of Lagos
State raided the ‘African Shrine’ so many times which caused a battle between
both parties.
He concluded saying that although he has his doubts about
these presidential candidates, he believes in the youth and hopes for better
Nigeria.
“Why would I support Tinubu? Please don’t get me angry. I
believe Peter Obi and Atiku are friends for him to be his Vice President if
they had won the last election, so why should I not have doubts?
“My family has not supported any political party, we just
sit and watch. We would not support anyone because we are heartbroken.
“If Obi wins and things change, then we’ll jubilate but no
one should tell me not to have my doubts about him. I can’t tell you what to do
with your life.
“Stop threatening me that you’ll burn the shrine or insult
my children. Stop that. When Fela was against Abiola, you voted for him, same
thing about Obasanjo
.
“If you tell me Obi is different, but he went to greet
babangida, Obasanjo, that makes me skeptical
“My family believes these political elites are part of the
problem of this country. I have my reservations about Peter Obi and you cannot
tell me what to think.
“How would you ask me if I like Tinubu, when he was Governor
he raided the shrine so many times. We had a big battle with Tinubu closing the
shrine.
“I just love to play my music and don’t want anything from
anybody. I’ve always believed in the youth just like my father. My children are
youths and I have to see life like there’s light at the end of a tunnel,” Femi
said.
