Afrobeat singer, Femi Kuti on Sunday night, October 22, disclosed that he can’t support Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s government because of his father’s beliefs.

The Cable reports that the Afrobeat singer made this known in a statement at Felabration, an annual musical event to celebrate the memory of his father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

Kuti said: “Vice President
Osinbajo came to me, to my house for support, he’s standing here and I am saying this here, but I told him I can’t support because of my father’s support and he understands but he’s my
friend, so he understands.

“He said he wanted to come to the shrine to see what everybody is saying about Shrine and I am happy that he came and saw that we are not crazy here. He said he didn’t know this place was this big.”

Reports have it that during his tenure as military head of state, President Muhammadu Buhari had sentenced Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Femi’s father, to jail for five years.

He was found guilty of illegally attempting to export £1,600 in foreign currency money that Fela said he had earned abroad.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo and the Delta state governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, urged the mediato retain its credibility as an unbiased umpire as Nigeria prepares for the 2019 general elections.

The duo made the call at the 14th edition of All Nigeria Editors Conference (ANEC) holding in Asaba, the Delta state capital.

Osinbajo said the journalism profession has always been at a greater risk than other professions; stressing that freedom of expression has always given people the right to use any information.
