You criticise Tinubu because you don’t have access to him - Seun Kuti fires president’s critics

Afrobeats musician, Seun Kuti, stated that a significant portion of those who criticize President Bola Tinubu would hold him in high regard if they had the opportunity to meet him.

Seun explained that the dislike some people have for Tinubu is largely due to their limited access to him.

The singer made the comment during his appearance as a guest on the latest episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast.

The singer reminisced how, as a child, he wondered why, despite being a ‘cool guy,’ many people ‘hated’ his father, the late afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

Seun said: “Being Fela’s son, growing up in Nigeria, I no even fit enter my girlfriend papa’s house. I go dey wonder say, ‘Wettin my papa sef dey do like dis wey nobody like am?’

“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.”
