has asserted that President Bola Tinubu’s critics would fall in love with him if given access.
Appearing on the latest episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ Podcast, Kuti said many of the criticisms directed at the President is from those who do not know him well enough. Seun said he is always bewildered whenever he sees the hatred some people have for his father, the late Afrobeats pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.He said most of the people who criticise politicians often turn around to praise the children of politicians because of money.“Being Fela’s son, growing up in Nigeria, I no even fit enter my girlfriend papa’s house.
“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,” he said.
