Afrobeat star and Late Fela's son, Seun Kuti  has explained why he would not vote this year. He also opened up on the only condition under which he would forgive Buhari for locking his father up. He told the Nation.

You recently came out and said you were misrepresented in some quarters of the media concerning the major presidential candidates. What are your views about the coming elections? Are you going to vote? Do you have your PVC?

No, I don’t have my PVC because I decided already long time ago, even before the candidates were chosen, that the election is the politician’s elections still. I’m not going to vote. And I’ve been proven correct. I’m happy that so many people in Nigeria today want to be involved in the democraticprocess of this country. It is a big development in our democratic development. 


And so many people want to also cast protest votes this year protest against how the country has been run by the present administration and I understand. And I support it as well. But the truth about it is that I believe that I am very politically mature. And for me to cast my vote, whoever I vote for has to represent my aspirations. I won’t just cast a protest vote in as much as a protest vote is needed in this forthcoming election. 


The candidate that is brought forward as well is someone that I believe is not in the good books of the Kuti family. And my family, we’re very united in our views about civic responsibility and human rights.

And retired General Buhari has trampled on the rights of my family when he jailed my father, illegally for that matter. And Fela was innocent. This is why it would be difficult for me to say I want to vote for Buhari. 

Maybe if Buhari wins and becomes president, then I can forgive him if he begins to do to Nigerians what Fela would have liked for Nigerians because maybe if Buhari becomes president and he suddenly becomes pro-people, developing Nigeria from the ground-up, things that I know would have made my father happy, and he is bring Nigeria up yeah.

Definitely, I would understand that even if Fela were alive and Fela sees Nigeria going forward like this, he would speak in favour of the man. But so far, I can’t betray my father based on some promises and some words. So, that is why I’m not voting for him.

He can read but cannot comprehend.

Seun is just confused aout who to vote, He can see the evil genius in GMB

Buhari did not kill your father. Why all the noise and seeking for attention? Buhari did not also throw your grandmother down from a high building which led to her death.

Since he doesn't have a PVC,he should STFU and let people with PVCs decide who to vote for.

Kapish!!

Faibuhari:

He is not. Upon what Buhari allegedly did to his father, he would forgive him if he became president and has the welfare of Nigerians at heart. Not one mention of Goodluck Jonathan, EVER!

Seun should shut up already, we love ur father but that doesn't justify some of his actions (like smoking igbo) ,go to fela shrine and see his father legacy

Suen... your dad is so proud of u ...Forget all these noise APC are making....they don't worth ur vote....eventually if they win.....they'll be VIP(Vagabonds In Power)

so much respect for #Fela Anikulakpo Kuti...

yemaldo:

smoking Igbo?

wat do u mean by that

if u want Justice because of d Igbo he used to smoke....then....u should jail all these Nigerian celebrities u see around..

Seun GMB will be President come May 29, will out perform the clueless one & you will get to like him.

Abeg go siddon

Who cares, he can live with hate and die in bitterness for all I care. BUHARI remains our man.

GEJ' cluelessness is wide spreading. Even Seun Kuti who one would have expected to sentimentally back GEJ is not doing that. He is ordinarily ( judging by the quotes attributed to him) ready to support Buhari but won't due to family values.

That's all!!

Believe it or not, those without PVC are the ones who make the loudest noise of all.

It's obvious seun is high on weed.

Click like for GMB
Click share for GEJ

so this guy still smokes he didn't learn from his father's bad behavior

i see

Na fela born this one too?

Abeg na Femi I know.


This dude wants to port, but his previous utterances when his mouth had diarrhea would make him seem like a caricature of his own words.

And retired General Buhari has trampled on the rights of my family when he jailed my father, illegally for that matter. And Fela was innocent. This is why it would be difficult for me to say I want to vote for Buhari.

Not just your father, he trampled on NANS, NUJ, NMA, Ajasin, Ekwueme, Ambrose Ali, Awolowo the list is endless.

Don't worry son, we won't let him do it again. Buhari can never rule Nigeria.

You see, this one sef no get PVC after all this noise.

Lol

Dont even forgive him self

Buhari is in trouble.

I am just tired of all these hate in the Nigerian political space. After the election, GMB or GEJ, most Nigerians are going back to "suffering and smiling".
Rest in peace Baba 70.

Seun Kuti, I like u! Very objective just like his father.
