There is nothing wrong with Buhari being sick’ – Femi Kuti

- Femi Kuti shared his opinion concerning president Muhammadu Buhari's health situation

- He stated that there is nothing wrong with the president being sick

- He blasted the presidents aide for hiding the true situation from well-meaning Nigerians

Veteran singer and late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti's son, Femi Kuti has called out Buhari's administration for hiding the true condition of the president's health from Nigerians.

He stated that there was nothing wrong with the president being sick as he was human but that the problem was the ‘lies, pretense and deceit’.

In a chat with entertainer, the legend said, “It is sad that our leaders cannot be honest with the nation. If the president is sick so what? Is it a sin to be sick? If he is sick you tell the nation he is sick and that is why there is a constitution and government. If he is sick, the vice president takes over. So, there is nothing wrong in it. What is wrong is lies, pretense and deceit and that is what happened during Yar Auda’s administration. The same people who criticized Yar Adua’s handlers are doing the same thing today. It is wrong to put the nation in suspense.”

The singer also recalled the ugly experience of witnessing the destruction of his late dad’s Kalakuta Republic forty years on.

“I was coming back from school when I saw soldiers going there (Kalakuta Republic). I turned back, told my mother what I saw. But by the time we returned, Kalakuta had been burnt down. I thought they had killed Fela. Women were devoured and beaten mercilessly. My grandmother was thrown out from the first floor and she later died from injuries sustained.”

Femi Kuti recently paid a visit to the internally displaced people in Maiduguri. He made the kids there happy by teaching them on music. naij
