Controversial afrobeats musician Seun Kuti has chastised President Bola Tinubu for his decision to end the fuel subsidy.

In contrast to the president's claim that this removal was a "difficult" decision made in the best interests of the country, the singer argued that it was a "cruel decision" that endangered the welfare of Nigerians.

Seun Kuti also criticized the government for spending $150 million on a plane when the school system is still woefully underfunded.

He made it clear that the money allocated for the purchase of the new presidential jet could have been used to open and run 10 elementary schools for twenty years.

During a recent session on Instagram Live, the outraged musician asked, “Who donated for the $150 million jet for Tinubu? Who did they ask for donations?

That $150 million do you know how many schools it will build? Or how long it will run a primary school? 10 good primary schools would be run on that money for at least 20 years. 10 good primary schools would be built and run, that will educate ten generations of African people.

The President cannot tell us that this petrol matter is not in his control. He is the President and Minister of Petroleum. They say they take tough decisions, but there is no tough decision taken here. President Tinubu took a wicked decision, this whole subsidy and floating the dollar, there is nothing tough about it.”
