Afrobeat musician, Seun Kuti, has urged the governments of African countries to ban the leader of the United Kingdom, UK, Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, from coming to the continent following her remarks about Nigeria.
DAILY POST reports that Badenoch has stood by her position on Nigeria, despite accusations from Vice President Kashim Shettima and others who claim she has denigrated the country. Badenoch has allegedly described her upbringing in Nigeria as being overshadowed by fear and insecurity in a country plagued by corruption.
Reacting during a recent Instagram live session, Kuti called for the leader of the UK's Conservative Party to be banned from entering Africa. He said, 'Many have been praising this woman ; someone who has been insulting us, not only us but our ancestors. She said we should pay Europeans for colonialism. 'She's saying we should pay them for killing millions of our ancestors; for all the atrocities that they committed in our lands.
