Grammy-nominated afrobeat artist, Seun Kuti has asserted that former Head of State, Olusegun Obasanjo, while serving as Nigeria’s military ruler between 1975 and 1979 was a stooge of Central Intelligence Agency, CIA, and a loyalist of then-US president, Jimmy Carter.
He stated this in a recent interview.
According to him, the invasion of his late father and
afrobeat pioneer, Fela’s Kalakuta abode on the 18th of February 1977 by
Nigerian soldiers was influenced by the United States.
He explained that the attack was primarily targeted at his
late grandmother, Mrs. Fumilayo Ransome Kuti because of her socialist stance
during the cold war.
Kuti said his grandmother was thrown out of the window
during the invasion of Kalakuta by over 1000 soldiers.
He said, “I believe also like because 1977 this was in the
height of the cold war. And she was Africa’s only surviving leading socialist
at that time with any kind of real political power and clout. So, I think the
attack was really 30 percent on Fela and 7 percent on her because [Olusegun]
Obasanjo was really a CIA stooge. He was really a Jimmy Carter’s boy.
“I think that woman [Fumilayo Ransome Kuti] was really the
target because why would you throw a seventy-something-year-old woman? How
could she be resisting that you need to throw a seventy-something-year-old
woman out of the window if you have not been told by some superiors that you
have to do that?”.
Kuti added that his grandmother never recovered from the
injuries sustained from the attack.
