Seun Kuti: ‘Buhari Persecuted My Family, Fela Will Deal With Him In After Life’

Former President Muhammadu Buhari’s passing has prompted a response from Afrobeats musician Seun Kuti.
According to Kuti, his family was the only one in Nigeria to be as severely harmed by the late leader.
In a video posted to his Instagram page, Seun—the youngest son of Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti—disclosed this.

He recounted how, during his tenure as military Head of State, Buhari reportedly mistreated his father and his uncles, Beko and Koye.

He bemoaned the fact that the guys he admired passed away so long before Buhari and said he did not consider the previous president’s passing to be a just outcome.

The singer continued by saying that even though he cannot bring his loved ones back, he takes some solace in the idea that they might band together to oppose Buhari in the hereafter.

“My family is the only group that Buhari has hurt and disrespected. My family dealt with Buhari, but his passing does not represent any kind of justice or triumph for us.

“My only sorrow is that my father, Fela, passed away before him; my uncles, Koye and Beko, were all finer men than him. The singer stated, “The only comfort I can derive from his passing is that, if there is such a thing, the three of them will band together against him in the afterlife.”
