News Politics

Nigerian afrobeats music star, Femi Kuti has denied calling “Obidients”, who are simply those campaigning for Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, zombies.

“You know what obedience means? Stand up, sit down, sit there — zombie,” Mr Kuti said during a performance at the Shrine Thursday night in Lagos, wondering why Mr Obi’s popularity has grown rapidly in recent months.

“How can you be Obidient in this chaos? I am not Obidient. Tell me, at 60, why am I Obidient? You said I should be Obidient, sit down, be peaceful,” he said. “Are you all okay in this country?”

Kuti who stated that his words were taken out of context, added that what he meant was he’s too angry at his age to be ‘obedient’ and he does not like the ‘term’.

He further stated that “if Peter Obi wins and actually changes the country better for all of us.”
