Seun Kuti, son of late afrobeat legend Fela has said he is not voting Buhari for what he did to his father 31 years ago.
In a recent chat with the Nigerian Tribune newspaper, the single father of one who is not interested in getting married 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. “
