Seun Kuti, son of late Afrobeat legend Fela
Anikulapo-Kuti has said he will vote against
Buhari over what he did to his father 31 years
ago.
In a recent chat with the Nigerian Tribune, the
father of one said:
“Truth is that I have no reason to give my
vote to any of the two contestants, but
more especially Buhari because of the
eternal emotional damage he caused the
Kuti family, especially me.”
“I will only urge Nigerians, especially her
youths, to come out enmasse to elect the
ruler of their choice so that Nigeria’s
democracy will continue to grow. As for
me though, I will never vote for Buhari
because of what he did to my father.
It is
a personal grouse. Buhari denied me the
chance of seeing my father in the early
stage of my life. He arrested and detained
Fela in Kirikiri for the same number of
years I was growing up without a father,
and even did not allow his family
members to see him on a daily basis. He
eventually jailed my father and I will
always remember that. He jailed my
innocent father on currency trafficking,
but he is claiming to be a saint now. “
