Afrobeats singer, Seun Kuti has said that most of the people
who criticise President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would love him if they have access to
him.
According to Seun, the reason some people hate him is
because of their lack of access to him.
The singer stated this while featuring as a guest in the
latest episode of The Honest Podcast.
The singer recalled how while growing up, he used to wonder
why many people ‘hated’ his father, the late afrobeat pioneer, Fela
Anikulapo-Kuti, despite being a ‘cool guy’.
Seun said, “Being Fela’s son, growing up in Nigeria, I no
even fit enter my girlfriend papa’s house. I go dey wonder say, ‘Wettin my papa
sef dey do like dis wey nobody like am?’
“But I know my father; he’s a cool guy. So, what’s it about
this guy that nobody likes? If I go anywhere, people would be like, ‘Oh! He’s
Fela’s son…’ I know that pain. But I looked at all politicians’ children; the
same people who criticise Tinubu today will praise his children tomorrow
because of money. So, I understand that if you had access to Tinubu, you would
love him. Your only hatred of him is your lack of access.”

We don't need access to h9m to like him. We voted for him but his hurried policies lead to many Nigerians dying of hunger. Tell him to revisit his policies that affect the common man especially fuel subsidy. Tell h9m again that palliatives are not for the common Nigerian, it should be suspended immediately. Also salary increase is never a solution bcs negligible percentage of Nigerians are the govt workers hence salary increase will only lead to more inflation and more death because majority of Nigerians are poor and can not afford good meal with the current inflation.
