‎Seun Kuti defends Tinubu’s style, dismisses critics

Seun Kuti, the scion of late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has taken to his social media page to defend the leadership style of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The energetic performer who took to his Instagram page to defend the leadership style of Tinubu in a live session also used the medium to dismiss critics who question the president’s decisions.

He stated further that anyone who thinks he is smarter and knows better than Tinubu about what is going on in Africa is making a mistake because that person is stupid.

Seun said, “The politician I can vouch for the closest to me is Bola Ahmed Tinubu. So if any of you think that you are smarter than him, if you know, you think you know more about what is going on in Africa than Tinubu. If you think anything he’s doing is a mistake or that he’s old or stupid, you are the one who is very stupid.”

The musician also described Tinubu and other active politicians as brilliant strategists who have read more books about Africa and have involved themselves in life-and-death struggles.

”These men are brilliant; they’re brilliant strategists. They know a lot and have read more books about Africa. They have involved themselves in life-and-death struggles that happen daily. You haven’t done anything yet, and people convince you to speak against him. I will tell you a fact: these people know how many people die in Nigeria thanks to their actions.

”I’m sure you people make them laugh when they see what you say about them on social media. I’m sure it gives them pride and joy to see you all confused with your weak analysis.
