‘If you had access to Tinubu, you’d love him’ – Seun Kuti

<p>Grammy-nominated afrobeat singer, Sean Kuti, has postulated that most of the people who criticise President Bola Ahmed Tinubu wouldn’t if they had access to him.</p>, <p>Speaking in the latest episode of The Honest Podcast, Kuti said many who are criticising the president would “love him” if they had access to him.</p>, <p>He said growing up, he used to wonder why many people “hated” his father, the late afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.</p>, <p>He said most of the people who criticise politicians often turn around to praise the children of politicians because of money.</p>, <p>Kuti said, “Being Fela’s son, growing up in Nigeria, I no even fit enter my girlfriend papa’s house. I go dey wonder say, ‘Wettin my papa sef dey do like dis wey nobody like am?’</p>, <p>“But I know my father; he’s a cool guy. So, what’s it about this guy that nobody likes? If I go anywhere, people would be like, ‘Oh! He’s Fela’s son…’ I know that pain. But I looked at all politicians’ children; the same people who criticise Tinubu today will praise his children tomorrow because of money. So, I understand that if you had access to Tinubu, you would love him. Your only hatred of him is your lack of access.”</p>
