The
son of the popular Afrobeat musician Fela, Seun Kuti, has taken to online to
defend Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos, over the purported comments credited to him.
The Lagos monarch was earlier quoted to have
threatened with drowning in Lagoon the Lagos-based Ibos who refused to vote for
APC gubernatorial candidate Akinwunmi Ambode at the April 11 elections.
“Who are these people lying against the throne
of Lagos?” Seun Kuti asked on his Facebook page. “I am sure the Oba of Lagos
didn’t say those words cos if he did his days on the throne are numbered.For he
is a father to all children and a host to all guests!”
Engaging
his fans in the conversation, Seun Kuti, who is as fearless as his late father,
Fela Anikulapo Kuti on political issues, said he trusts the Oba and believes
the whole show is another trick of the PDP, APC’s leading opposition.
“I don’t have to wait for that to be refuted I can
already see it’s the usual PDP dirty politics,” he wrote.
In an earlier post, Seun Kuti had written: “The
callousness of the PDP is unrelenting oooo. Imagine the Igbos agreed yesterday
to abandon a sinking ship and then the PDP tries to sell a lie that they will
be drowned by the rescue boats. Isn’t that just wicked?”
