The Senator representing Bayelsa East in the National Assembly, Ben Bruce, has called on the Federal Government to apologize to Music legend, Fela Kuti, for sending him to jail.

Ben Bruce said this while reacting to French President, Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Afrika Shrine in Lagos State.

Describing Fela as the “greatest leader to come out of Africa and a tourist attraction, the Senator on Twitter said it took a president of a former white colonial master to recognize Fela and the African Shrine, while our own president, burnt his house, broke his jaw and even jailed him.

According to him, ”Fela is an icon, the greatest in Africa. Fela is a tourist attraction. More people know Fela than the name of any president in the history of Nigeria. Fela is Mr tourism.

”The Federal Government must apologize to Fela and offer him restitution.

”It took a president of a former white colonial master to recognize Fela and the African Shrine, while our own president, burnt his house, broke his jaw and even jailed him for having £1,600 in his pocket.”

I respect that man.. His songs are a prophesy in today's government.

Ben Bruce. As a Nigerian senator, your personality and the Nigerian Government are not two different people.
Just do things rather than advice as if you are alien to the Nigerian govt.

Notin yansh dey do wey no dey swit. Sh1t, pissss, fvck e dey swit, y not...cox yanssh na wonderful material property

OK and the albino looter and IPOb aider must tell us his response after the apology.

Fela dn tell us say bubu na crase man since 80s.... "BEASTS OF NO NATION

”The Federal Government must apologize to Fela
and offer him restitution.
”It took a president of a former white colonial
master to recognize Fela and the African Shrine,
while our own president, burnt his house, broke
his jaw and even jailed him for having £1,600 in
his pocket.”

Ben Murray Bruce should have bared his mind and be precised without being fearless. He should have called out the name of the person he is referring to, instead of dilly-dallying with the name, Federal government.

Of course, it is on record that Buhari's military administration jailed Fela in 1984 for having £1,600 in his pocket.
