What I Discussed With Obi — Femi Kuti Speaks
Femi Kuti, the Afrobeat musician, met with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi recently.
Recall that Kuti became the target of Internet trolls when he stated that being obedient in Nigeria was tantamount to being a zombie.
Many supporters of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, who are called ‘Obidients’ took his statement as an attack against them.
However, Obi later cautioned his followers and supporters to stop heckling and harassing Kuti. He later visited Kuti during the week.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, Kuti stated that though he would not like to discuss the details of his meeting with Obi because it was a private one, he admitted that they discussed politics and the state of the nation.
He said, “I really don’t want to talk about what I discussed with Peter Obi. The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, also visited me and I did not reveal what we discussed. Some people even said Osinbajo gave me money. And, I told him to tell the world if he indeed he gave me money, and he said he did not. Even at that, some people chose not to believe us. That shows that some people already have their minds made up regardless of the facts on the ground.
“If I tell you about my discussion with Obi, I feel that will not be right. But, if he comes out to say something different from what actually transpired, I would then have to talk, at least to set the records straight. However, I can give you the periphery of our discussion. We talked about how bad Nigeria is, and I gave him some ideas on what I felt needed to be done to put the country on the right path of development.
“He also mentioned that campaigns should not involve threats, and he said that was why he came to apologise to me for the actions of some of his followers who threatened and abused me on social media.”
Kuti, however, maintained that he was not moved by the backlash he got over his statement. He said, “I cannot be forced to support anyone. A candidate can even caution their fans against doing certain things, but not all of them will listen. If I want to campaign for a certain person, I will give my reasons for doing that.
“I have spoken against many politicians in the past, including Bola Tinubu (presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress) and Atiku Abubakar (the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party).”
The Grammy Awards nominee also maintained that he did not call Obi’s supporters zombies. He said, “A particular journalist came to the New Afrikan Shrine and I expressed my views, only for people to start attacking me because the media said I called Obi’s supporters zombies, which I did not do. When I got home, I saw the post and I quickly corrected it that I didn’t call them zombies. But, they kept on attacking me. Some people even threatened to burn down the Shrine. I had to do a video explaining in clear words what I meant.”

See the genuine smile
Wike spoke against him with unprintable words. Peter visited him.
Femi Kuti spoke, he has gone to see him.
Peter is consulting widely, He knows that the task ahead is huge. while others are relying on their money bags.
They will be shocked.
Never underrate your competitor
meanwhile
see this man story
William Ruto wins Kenyan presidential election
Kenya’s William Ruto and presidential candidate for the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has been declared winner of the presidential election.
Why does this excite me? The powers that be in Kenya called him Social Media President.
Last week after the election, his main challenger and opponent Raila Odinga was leading initially and Bola Tinubu’s men likened Williams Ruto to Peter Obi! Social Media President!
They said Mr Ruto can only win on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter because young people of Kenya wanted him and promoted him.
The youths said they want a young person. Williams Ruto is 55 years.
But they didn’t know that the table would turn!
It may also interest you to know that the political party UDA was formed in early 2020, he joined the party in 2021. Won election in 2022. We all know the principality of Kenya. Raila Odinga. He refused to support him. The Youth said its Ruto or no one.
Keep pushing. Obi will get there.
Congratulations to you Williams Ruto!

Without a tribalism and nepotism any sane Nigerian know it’s only someone like Peter obi that can now rescue Nigeria from total collapsing, but seriously some ethnic bigot people will just still prefer to hav their own man at the affairs of the country either he is capable or not than to go for what could have been the best solution to all nigerian’s current problems, #ObiDatti2023 is certain

I laugh each time Apc supporters claims fake love for Nigeria and accuse people of hating Nigeria whereas they’re the worst enemy of this country.
Apc supporters love for Nigeria can be best described as the same love you love your Christmas chicken or salah ram.
if you love someone all you’ll want for the person is the best but Apc supporters all they’ve supported and wanted for Nigeria is worst.
they supported the abomination we have today as president not once but twice.
and even in the midst of failure they defended the worst government in the history of humanity till the point they felt like it’s time to enthrone another disaster Tinubu.
Today they’re fighting tooth and nail to enthrone a monumental disaster and just like the real patriotic Nigerians cried in 2014 when they where trying to enthrone the disaster we have today, today the real lovers of Nigeria are trying to give it the best and revive it, the so called lovers of Nigeria are trying again to enthrone another failure.
no remorse nothing nothing.
So if you’re looking for enemies of Nigeria, look no further.
they’re not bokoharam, fulani herdsmen, bandits.
they’re TINUBU URCHINS.

Watch the gatekeepers of the Yoruba race call femi kuti an Omo ale. For them any Yoruba that’s not supporting their expired product isn’t Yoruba.
Charley boy is older than Tinubu.

Na WA o…
Even if Peter Obi no win, he will give others really tough time.
For me, this a win anyways for those who don’t have a tiny glimpse of hope for Nigeria.

I remember pur rude long who said a particular tribe should be thrown into lagoon , should they fail to vote his candidate but neber apologised for uttering such a reckless statement. His candidate and mentor said pdp would Labour in vain in osun. What a reckless statement from a reckless leader!
Next year, the king will be the one to run away shamefully after seeing his candidate being defeated at the polls.
Obi is an example and embodiment of good leadership and humility per excellence. Despite the fact that he wasn’t the one who uttered the reckless statement which was credited to one of his supporters, even though it was a statement from a supporter of an opponent who’s disguising as Obi’s supporter so the latter could be given a bad name, he still came to apologise..that’s what we’re saying. Leader pas Leader

Thank God he knows most of his supporters her psychotic morons!
As sellable as he was amongst the three, his crazy followers just made me give up on him!
A mob of crazy tyrannical followers is worse than anything evil Buhari, gluttonous Atiku and corrupt Tinubu can ever do to Nigeria & sane Nigerians.

Peter Obi doesn’t seem to delegate matters he goes directly to the person or people and sort out any issues with them, great leadership trait
