PARIS, DECEMBER 14, 2016: (DGW) The
President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, appears to have been losing
popularity in rapid succession with many Nigerians at home and in the
diaspora as a result of his leadership style which borders on
highhandedness.
The latest of such is from , Femi Kuti,
the Afrobeat maestro, who narrated how he openly snubbed Buhari when he
came to ask for his support in the run up to the 2015 presidential
election.
He said, he openly humiliated President
Buhari when he sent his then running mate Prof. Osinbajo to solicit
support from him but he told him point blank he can never support a
person who jailed people indiscriminately including his late father,
Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
Speaking further and showing the
photograph above he snapped with Osinbajo in his Akute residence in
Ogun State, the Afrobeat King said he can never campaign for any
political party or a politician, calling attention to how his late
father was incarcerated during the military regime of Buhari.
His words:
“He came to ask for my support I refused, I told him there was no way I could support a man who jailed my father,”
“Never have I placed my support for any
political party or politician. Thank God the VP is still there and can
confirm. I vehemently said NO.”
The witty remark was in sharp reaction
to rumours making the rounds that he has lost his voice which could be
interpreted to mean his tacit support and endorsement of the present
Abuja regime under President Buhari.
