"There is no way I could support a man who jailed my father" Femi Kuti denies supporting APC & Buhari during last election

Friday, October 28, 2016

In a series tweets, Femi Kuti has made it clear that he didn't support the APC or any other political party in the 2015 general elections. This was in reply to a follower who accused him of keeping silent in the face of the recession and accused him of supporting the government.

In one of his tweets, he explained that the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo came to visit him during the campaign seeking for his support but he refused, saying he could never support a man who jailed his father.

You would recall that in 1984, during Buhari's military reign, he arrested Fela Anikulapo Kuti and jailed him on a charge of currency smuggling which Amnesty International and others denounced as politically motivated
