Scion of late Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Seun has knocked President Bola Tinubu over his decision to remove fuel subsidy.
Speaking during a recent Instagram Live session, the outraged singer asked, he said contrary to the President’s claim that the removal of fuel subsidy was a “tough” decision he made for the overall interest of the country, it was a “wicked decision” that undermined the welfare of Nigerians.
Kuti also slammed the Presidency over the decision to buy a $150 million jet while the educational sector is underfunded, arguing that the money spent on acquiring a new jet for the President was enough to build and run 10 primary schools for 20 years.
The afrobeat musician queried, “Who donated for the $150 million jet for Tinubu? Who did they ask for donations?
“That $150 million, do you know how many schools it will build? 10 good primary schools would be run on that money for at least 20 years. 10 good primary schools that will educate ten generations of African people.”
He continued: “The President cannot tell us that this petrol matter is not in his control. He is the President and Minister of Petroleum. They say they take tough decisions but no tough decision is taken here. President Tinubu took a wicked decision. This whole subsidy and floating of the Naira, there is nothing tough about it.”
