Seun Kuti Says He Will NEVER Vote For Buhari For Jailing His Innocent Father Fela…
As sure as thew run rises in the East
and sets in the West, Seun Kuti will not
vote for General Mohamadu Buhari as
the 2015 general draws near.
Though the clamour for the military
man’s return to power as a civilian
president is high in Lagos State
more than other South Western
states, the last
son of the legendary Fela Anikulapo
Kuti has exclusively told R that he
has not quickly forgotten what his
father suffered in the hands of
General Mohammadu Buhari and the
late Tunde Idiagbon when he was the
former was the Military Head of
State of Nigeria, and would
therefore not vote for him.
Although, he was not categorical
about voting for the incumbent,
Goodluck Jonathan either, Seun 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,” he said.
Barely three years on earth, Buhari
jailed the late Afrobeat King on
currency trafficking charge in 1984
and Seun did not really get to know
Fela, his father, till the controversial
musician died.
Seun lost his dad 10 years after and
he was a little above 13 years when
Fela died of HIV/AIDS in August
1997.
Seun, who recently arrived from a
musical tour of Asia, said that rather
than give his support to Jonathan or
Buhari,
“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”.
