“For saying “Revolution Now” shame that an administration with Asiwaju Tinubu will lock somebody up” – Seun Kuti

Son to legendary Fela Kuti, Seun Kuti has condemned Bola Tinubu over the detention of Omoyele Sowore by the Department for State Security, DSS. 

According to the Afrobeat musician, the detention shouldn’t be happening with someone like Tinubu playing a key role in this administration.

“It is a shame that an administration with Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu will lock somebody up when he’s the leader of that party that is ruling, for saying Revolution Now, knowing the history of NADECO, the role that he played, and where we all came from, from 1993 till date, I think it was a bit harsh.”

He added: “The only thing I told Sowore was that he needed a bit more time to take people along. You can’t do revolution on the people’s behalf. You have to do your revolution with the people.”
