Family Reacts Over Political Advert Using Fela’s Photo by Tolexander: 10:22pm On Jan 23, 2015
By Benjamin Njoku
The Anikulapo-Kuti family has frowned at a recent
advertisement published in some national dailies
where the picture of Afro beat King, Fela Anikulapo
Kuti was used to score a political point.

Reacting to the said advertisement on behalf of the
Anikulapo family, eldest daughter of the late
Afrobeat legend, Yeni said, the family was not aware,
and did not approve any advert using Fela’s picture.

In a statement released yesterday, Yeni maintained
that the advertisement was published without the
knowledge of the family.

“We do not like anybody using the history of the
Anikulapo family, especially Fela and Buhari to their
own advantage. Whilst we may not support any
party, we do not like any party using our father as a
political tool or an instrument for their politics
because Fela was apolitical.”

Fela was for good governance only. Fela was for
respect for human rights which most of those
masqurading as democrats today were against some
years ago.

“They should desist from using Fela’s picture, image
or lyrics for any political rally, whatever party it may
be, whether APC, PDP, SDP, Labour, Accord or any
other party we do not condone it. They should let
Fela continue to rest in peace,” the statement reads.

Fela n buhari story is like bread n butter.

I guess if Fela was alive, he'll never pitch his tent with that certificate forger and lying pastor.

Fela the Great, Rest Well.
