This is coming days after Kuti expressed disdain for Obi’s supporters, insisting they are a group of slavish characters who, like zombies, are incapable of thinking for themselves and making their own decision.
Kuti stated that he was too angry and depressed over the situation of the country to be ‘Obidient’.
In his words: “You know what obedience means? Stand up, sit down, sit there — zombie “How can you be Obidient in this chaos? I am not Obidient. Tell me, at 60, why am I Obidient? You said I should be Obidient, sit down, be peaceful.”
However, in a later report, Kuti in a video cleared the air about his statement, saying he was misquoted and he never described the supporters of Obi as ”zombies”.
In a recent development, the LP presidential candidate visited the iconic singer at the Afrika shrine in Lagos.
The development has stirred mixed reactions from social media users.
Below are some of the reactions:
