Nigerian singer Seun Kuti has described the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi as ‘an opportunist’ who has no plan for the country.
Kuti, the last son of late Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, made his stance on Obi’s presidential prospect known during an online interview with ‘TheMicOnPodcast’, hosted by Channels TV’s Seun Okinbaloye.
The singer said the former Anambra governor, who only started a movement because he lost the presidential ticket of his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), did not have the time to prepare his governance blueprint.
He also questioned how Obi, a capitalist, would run the country effectively under the platform of a socialist party if he wins the 25 February polls.
Kuti remarked, “You can’t be telling me that just because you lost PDP primaries 18 months before the election, you suddenly started a movement, and you have a plan for the country. No, that’s opportunism.
“And it’s not an opportunist that will deliver Nigeria — not jumping on Labour Party. The Labour Party has a socialist structure. Peter Obi is a capitalist. Where are they going?”
